Default DUMP VALE QUESTION

Hi all,
Will the oem DV/recirc valve from a 2004 WRX 2.0L Turbo Estate fit onto my 2002 WRX saloon?
Thanks

Yes, it'll fit straight on, if, for example, you're replacing a broken OE valve with another one. If you're going from a non-OE atmospheric valve back to standard, don't forget that you'll need to remove the bung from the recirc pipe and reconnect it to the DV.

I want to try this OEM instead of my Dump Valve I have fitted ATM.
The pick-up is supposed to be better and the throttle less on and off.

My current DV(cheap one) is sticking and not closing as it should, what problem with running will this cause?

Yes, standard DV is better than pretty much any aftermarket alternative.

Sticky one could cause a range of issues from jerky throttle response to poor spool through boost control issues. Definitely worth giving the standard one a try.
