Everyone to there own!

I wouldn't think you'd see any increase in BHP. You would deffo see an increase in noise though. How much noise? Well that depend on how the car is driven, dunt it? High thottle/revs, loud PSSSHHH etc etc.

I don't think it would be over the top as the OE dump valve makes a noise too.

BTW Welcome.

Changing the standard dump valve for a VTA won't affect your performance but it may make the car jerky coming off throttle
