Will I lose my Dump Valve???

I'm having a front mounted intercooler fitted tomorrow, along with a new turbo - however, at the moment I have a dump valve connected to the intercooler I have.

How will this change with the new setup? Or will it? Will it just be rigged up different or will i need a new type of the above??

You can get an adapter made up for your DV so it connects up to your pipe-work not intercooler. I'm guessing you have got a UK car around MY99??? There is a thread on here somewhere with somebody that makes them I think.

With a FMIC you will need to move your dump valve and if it's off a v5 or 6 and is attached to the standard TMIC then you'll either need an adapter or a DV suitable for a v3-4 car which basically has a pipe going in the side and another going out the bottom, rather than having to bolt to anything in particular.
