dump valve problems?????
hi all
coming home from work yesterday got car to normal temp before putting foot down and hitting boost no woosh from the dump valve????
after trying this in 1st 2nd and 3rd still no woosh.
so i parked up and reved upto 6000rpm.
after this the woosh came back?????
do dump valves get stuck or is it faulty or is it somthing else????

I've just bought a forge for my 03 WRX from E-bay, it was very gunged up. Have a look at yours. It was very easy to clean with a bit of WD40 and an allen key.

I removed mine and then took it apart. Took about 15 mins in total. Be careful of the springs though. The stuff on mine was more like oil, maybe from the engine bay. Valve was definitetly sticking though.
