What dump valve should i fit to the classic WRX i have "almost" purchased??

I want one that really dumps loud!!!!!!

HKS? BLITZ? BAILEY? FORGE?? There are so many to choose from. The Blitz Super Sound was the favourite till i seen the Forge and Bailey versions for about HALF THE PRICE!!

Please advise!!

 

Go for an HKS in the group buy in General, £140 delivered!!

Forge one is very good, but I think they are all a waste of time, and fuel IMHO.

stupid question
my car is standard except for rear silencer could i put a dump valve on?
what benefits or drawbacks are there?
is it a waste of money?

 

I have a forge vta, dont think iy makes any difference to performance or fuel.
But the noise gives me a silly grin. All my other turbo cars have had vta dumpvalves and I think its all part of the turbo experience. Even our Volvo V70 T5, Family car.

Stubsie,

Yes you can put one on. I think they do very little, unless you're runnning high boost. The don't work well with MAF based cars. Normally the released air is returned to the airbox, and metered throught the MAF. With a VTA this return is blanked and the ECU gets very confused when it soesn't pick up the dumped air. Causes rich mixture at that point. My MY99 was significantly worse in MPG when I had one. Made some nice explosions though

Do a search, but the experts tend to say leave well alone.
