I have been told these are actually bad for the car and can decrease power - any thoughts ir comments.

Many thanks

You havent been told not to use it at all,you have been advised that the factory standard one is as good if not better than aftermarket dumpvalves/blow off valves

Ok,

Maybe I misqouted someone. I was actually told . . . .

leave the standard one on or you might find that it runs like a bag of ****e and might possibly decrease power

Has anyone had the same experiances - I have searched all over the place but I can't find any posts or threads relating to any issues.

Many thanks

search harder and you will see that its been talked about a 1000 times before some for and some against, have a pick through the threads and make your own mind up!if you already have it i'd fit and see for your self as its only a 10min job and change back to the oem if its no good

I fit an SSQV to my STi7,

I did run badly but this can be mapped out.

I removed it as it didn't sound like I wanted it too.

If you like the noise then get it mapped with it on
