Standard one. Works great and sounds perfect.

 

i fit a forged recuirt one so it does just what a standard one does no silly noises just looks a bit nicer that all

 

Comon it sounds... ****e, but works better

 

Nooo, it sounds exactly how a dumpvalve is supposed to sound. Nice gentle barely audible whoosh.

If I was going to put something else on, I would do the job properly and fit one of these.

 

:l ol1::lol 1:

 

thats ace.

so standard ones are a bit quite??

 

what he said

 

even on the 02 wrx

 

thats the funniest thing i have heard in years i really want 1 pmsfl

btw i have a blitz supersound, nice n loud lol

 

My vote for funniest post of the week

You accidentally the spelling

 

he is a newbie give him a chance standard dv are alright but you need a blitz or a forge

 

You need a Blitz or Forge etc if you have an unavoidable need to spend money on unnecessary trinkets that don't do your car any particular favours.

From a pure functionality point of view the standard newage DVs are impossible to fault, there is no need whatsoever to replace one unless the engine is modified in a way that positively necessitates it. They are more than "alright", they are very well made (probably better than most of the aftermarket alternatives), and, significantly, perfectly matched to the engine and ECU.

 

i do know the guy proberly wants a loud dump valve as you should know splitpin im replacing mine back to standard

 

Want and need are not the same thing.

not fitted by me but the previous owner.

 

i have a cheap ebay one, want to get rid as soon as.. but would be happy with a standard one. just finding out info on them.

 

why do you want your car to sound like a bus braking?

 

Buy whatever you want to buy ,some people like them some dont ,but if we all did the same the cars would look and sound abit boring.Surely if it puts a smile on your face thats all that matters.

 

I think the best "sound" if you like that sort of thing is the no dump valve at all compressor stall sound (aka rally cars). Only do this on certain turbos mind you.

 

ditch the chav horn

go back to stock

 

Quite right mate, well said.

 

I've blanked mine off completely.

after a standard one now. thanks for helping me out. just need to find a standard one????

 

and that has to be the best sound ever heard !!!

Can't do it on mine (td04) been told it has to be the roller bearing type.

 

It goes without saying that anyone can buy anything they like for their own car, and if you want to buy something that draws attention to it (or your)self, then nobody's stopping you. However, this is the technical forum, Spesh has asked about it here and from a technical point of view, for a variety of reasons, newage Imprezas work better with the standard dumpvalve than they will with almost any aftermarket alternative, and do so out of the box, without any need to calibrate springs, preloads and so-forth, and do so reliably. For those reasons the standard one is the optimal choice unless, as above, there's a positive reason to change it.

Don't know where you heard that. In reality your TD04 is probably more capable of withstanding it for a given period of time than many roller/ball bearing turbos. However there are knock on effects and potential consequences, and on a standard-ish roadcar you might find the noise you get is wimpy and infrequent compared with what you might be expecting. If you think it'll sound like a WRC, it won't - and the possible consequences are worth reading about and understanding before doing it.

 

Anyway... Welcome to Scoobynet scoobyd00999 & spesh_SCOOBY

 

yeah hi I will put teddies back in pram now

 

thanks splitpin.
