i have a 2001 bugeye wrx and i want to fit a dump valve to it . can i just fit it without doing anything else to the car ? as a m8 of mine said id have to have the car remapped because it would make the car run bad and eventually knacker the engine is he telling me bollox or the truth ? thanx shane

 

you dont need a remap for a dump valve

 

you already have a dump valve fitted

 

im just going on what my m8 said i was after a bailey one is just a case of removing the old one and fitting the new one ?

 

Keep the re-circ one on IMO

 

Your car will not run as well, but not significantly worse. There is absolutely no performance benefit, so you'll be spending a few hundred quid on just a noise. There is evidence to support that over time they can damage your engine and exhaust components, but do a search as it's been well covered and I'm fed up of telling people only to be derided by the chavs who love them. IMHO, save the cash and spend it on handling mods or professional driver tuition which will make your car not only much faster, but safer too.

 

cheers m8 . im new to all his scoob modding used to have a chav saxo ( well thats my excuse )

 

 

i fitted a baily to my rb5 and i found the pick up alot slower so went back to the re-circ.. but now with a fmic i have a forge and the pick up is still quite good..

imo dont get one just yet spend £££ on somin else

 

I only paid £35 for my forge vta off of fleabay.

 

Wow ! £35 for a noise. Well done

 

I have only fitted this as along with other bits ive recently fitted and they will work well togther after remap by A F on Thursday.
And yes i thought £35 was a bargain for some noise as you put it considering theyre £140 new.

 

i paid £26 delivered for my forge from the bay... bargain

 

They dont do anything performance wise or detremental to your engine (If they were then why would subaru fit one as standard??????) , but if you like the noise of an atmospheric one then why not go for one........
The only issue with BOV's is if they leak under vaccum allowing air in that is not being metered.

 

when they dump they let out the air that has been metered= slight overfueling.

as for a leaking bov you need a twin piston one, a single piston bov will leak and make the car run like poo.

 

I have a forge VTA fitted to mine.

Car runs just as well as it did with the OE dump valve.

Starting to get bored of the noise now tho

 

I have a HKS ssq and it sounds awesome. On low boost it lets out a whistle and on full boost a wrc type chirp. I love it, but i also like the sound of my induction kit sucking like a ***** and de-cat exhaust

It just depends on personal preferance. If i was driving the car all day i would get a bit pissed off with all the noise i think, but i'm in a work van all day and only drive the scoob occasionally
