Yeah, you'll probably get a flaming from others for whom it isn't the modification of choice, but hey - it's yours, do what YOU want to do. I've had a Forge DV on for a few years now, no problems, very well made and sounds lovely.

There's lovers & haters for the aftermarket dumpvalve.

Go for the best you can afford, for example HKS, BLITZ, APEXI, FORGE. Stay clear of the cheap ones that are sold on ebay. More hassle than they are worth. Keep an eye out on the 'for sales' section there's always dumpvavles coming up for sale

peoples arguement is that the car should have a recirc valve and not a vta valve. I have run my car on both and noticed slight hesitation whilst using my blitz dv.
Plus when you talk to tuners about upping the ponies considerably, none of them mention fitting a vta dv...
But its your car and therefor up to you. I havent read any posts on here from people who have had major problems from running a dump valve?
