Mind you, the original one might be broken

I know!!! Let's all do impressions of them!

Here's my impression of the Forge VTA dump valve, for starters:

No performance gains, but do sound good if you like that sound,

Its a marmite mod, love it or hate it,
same as the peeps who hate blue scoobs 'cos everyones got one', yes theres a lot about, cos they look nice IMO.

Bigger spoilers/wings, graphics etc, all down to personal taste.

I haven't fitted one to my scoob, but I can recommend a Bailey twin piston (DV 26 I think). Used them on previous cars and they're spot on, far better than the supposed GRP A ones.
I can't comment on BOV's as I've never used one.
Personally I'd be more inclined to leave the OE one (or replace it for a Bailey recirculating DV) and get an induction kit, that way you'll get the wastegate chatter instead

As already said; it's Marmite.
