I'd be grateful for some help - I've currently got an HKS SSQV fitted and am replacing it with a Forge recirculating dump valve. Can anybody help me out with the following queries?:

1. I know that the recirculating DV fits on to the front of the (top mounted) intercooler, but do I need to obtain a gasket to go between the intercooler and the Dump Valve and then use some sort of sealing compound on it?

2. I can see where to attach the slim vacuum hose (to the top of the dump valve) and I can also see that it's pretty obvious that the large exit trumpet get's connected to a large diameter hose (which is currently connected to the SSQV - but this hose obviously then just vents to atmosphere after air has passed through the SSQV) but what do I do with the other end of that hose? Am I supposed to reconnect this to something, or insert a bung? Would be really grateful for a picture (the ones on the other threads don't show this larger pipe - a piccy of the standard OE item installed would be just as useful.

Have searched the forums but so far haven't found a thread which discusses how to change a VTA to recirculating and I've got no idea what it's supposed to look like as original.

Thanks for any advice provided!

 

It might help mate if you post up your My Year ??

 

It's a P1 - MY 99/00. And has the standard TMIC.

Cheers!

 

I have a MY00 with exactly the same setup D/V - I'll take a photo for you when I get home and post it up This should give you an idea where everything goes

the Dump valve has got a very thin gasket too - a bit of silicone would do the trick I reckon otherwise contact someone like Grade A - I would imagine it would be pence to buy one

Just out of interest why are you removing the HKS ??
