Start off by blanking off your dump vakve to prove that is actually the problem.
Chances are it is not.
Forge VTA DV is simple reliable and relatively cheap.

Had one on mine for eight years now, IIRC.

Has seen 2 bar of boost now and then...

P.S. I fitted the strongest spring from the service kit so it ONLY works at WOT under serious abuse, round town it's as good as a blanking plate. IMHO.

Yeah you remember correctly.
Nothing noticeable musso. As i said, it only vented on WOT(ish) anyhoo so will/should not effect open loop running, and i still get pops on gear changes

I will get it logged when the weather/time permits, but only expect a tiny change if any at all. (i still have the OE in the shed should i need it)
