DONT FIT A DUMP VALVE

0WRX5

Why no ??

lord shaun 83

matter of personal taste if you ask me, mine has a vta on it.. but to be honest it was fitted when i bought the car, i wouldnt of fitted a vta my self to it. to be fair it gets on my wires,the noise it makes, makes you look a tool!... mines coming off

All they do is make a noise and can make the car not run very well. This is because metred air that the ecu has registered is being sent to atmos rather than back into the inlet system,so has an effect on fueling

If a get it mapped after a put the dv on will it/could it still damage the car as thats the idea ...turbo bk exhaust system ,panel fillter, walbra fuel pump,dumpvalve then mapped , call me a sad c*#t but l actualy like the sound of a dumpvalve lol

Bit of a marmite question on here chap but if you want to fit a VTA BOV then most new kits come with a blanking plug for the recirc pipe, I know Turbosmart do at least.

Can only speak from personal experience but had one on mine with no ill effects for years but changing back to recirc now for a change.

You hate seeing the same thread comming up , you give the same reply.

For all those who dont like dump valves , or the threads , why not simply ignore them ?

That's what I now do.

And I also refuse to offer help or advice to anyone with problems who has one fitted.

I've had one fitted to mine for 5 years with no problems at all.

A was gona ask about waste gates next but al just keep ma mouth shut lol. Its a dv that came off a 05 wrx (not new) so didnt *** with a blanking plug but av found a 31mm plug on ebay for a 01-06 wrx so problem solved. Mmm fake roof vent you say ....al have a look on ebay m8 chreers.

Forge recirculating ftw.With an aftermarket induction which most will have if they are using a fmic you get a nice discreet noise when flat out and hardly any noise when driving normally.
I've had them all when I was younger bailey,forge atmospheric, Hks ssqv and blitz they drive me up the wall. I especially hate seeing a really well sorted track car and watching a video with pitishhhhhh or eeeeeeeeeeee every ****ing second.
Each to own though.

Baz82

Go on what are you goig to say about waste gates?

0WRX5

Is it the waste gate that makes the cool wee flutter sound when ye lift off ?? Dont know the actual job it does but ....sumfin like optimise the boost or stop over boost or sumfin ?? A get the feeling am digging myself a hole here lol. Am no realy clued up on scoobs, it gets meme

0WRX5

Soz droped phone - it gets me to work and is sumfin to play with at the wknd am happy so plenty more stupid questions on the way haha

Just be careful of the txt speak too , you already have the DV police on your case , and if you think they are bad . . . . . . .

Baz82

No its not the wastegate as yours in internally gated turbo so you wont get any noise from it really . Its air coming back through the turbo's inlet when you close the throttle. You get it on cars without a dump valve or the incorrect dumpvalve fitted (wrong spring in the valve itself)

The wastegate jobs is to control boost.

Must get a sticker made up "DV POLICE" and some flashing lights CharlieSkunkweed.

you are right about the text talk , **** me its annoying

Baz82

The pigeon I call it. do do do do do do , ppptish.

Nearly as bad as the BOOOO boys with their decated TDi's( or whatever you have to do to ruin the car) , red T , Red D and painted red i

Burgoil

Scooby clinic fitted me a dump valve that can be turned off, I like the sound an no side effects in 12 months..... Personal preference , if you want one get one Mate

I skipped through the replies, and as per usual you will have been shot down

What Im finding confusing though is the above, you have a 05 bugeye ? 2005 was the blobeye, with 2006 seeing the introduction of the hawkeye for sure, unless it been converted to a bugeye

Whatever you decide to do is up to you, I personally would not bother with aftermarket DV's, unless you pay for a good en, in which case you may aswell spend the money that a good en would cost on getting your car tweaked for performance, and not fecking around causing hinderance

Burgoil

Rob has a fair point , did you buy your car from Phil "cut&shut" Mitchell?

0WRX5

My mistake , its an 05 blobeye. Cheers for the advice Rob and ill probly sell the second hand dv and spend a bit more on a well desinged one. As you say personal pref. Its a ******* touchy subject tho is it no hahaha .over and out.
