In my new set up I've decided to run dv less only problem is what would I do with the pipe that connects to the dv ? Is it just a fact of blanking it off to ?

Here is the pipe I mean


Sam

 

should be able to just plug or cap it off. dunno if a plug would blow out though, maybe better to plug it and put a small jubilee clip on it.

you selling the turbosmart DV?

 

Thought it may be a case of blanking that pipe off too

Well that's the plan mate

 

cant you just fold the pipe over and tie-wrap it?

 

LMAO

 

Why ?.

 

What do you mean why?

 

I put a bolt in my vac line.

 

Take it it's held ok ?

 

Yeah sure man. cable tie it jobs a good un

 

Thanks mate

 

I used that vac like for my boost gauge when i blanked my dv off.

Iirc an m6 bolt and jubilee clip will do the job mate

 

Can u run dv less without map??

 

What set up have you got ?

I know jolly green monster said you can run dv less with a TD04 and not have to map it

 

Yeh on td04 wil panel filter and cat back atm I've got the bits to go fully decat inc up pipe but these won't be fitted till I get it mapped

 

Im on td04 and no remap yet. i just hated the way the car drove, felt like hitting a wall on lift off and back on throttle/changing gear etc.

 

so you running without dv atm the fudgey?

 

Yes. Hateful things, even recircs lol

 

What are the benifits of running without a dump valve?

 

I just prefer it tbh. If you have an induction kit you will get chatter, but on the stock intake system like i have you cant hardly hear it.

Mine felt ****e on gear change and lift off then back onto throttle so i took it off and its cured that.

 

Why do subaru fit one then? Just to preserve the life of the turbo?

 

 

Noise suppresion usually

Although if you are using a garret gt turbo with roller bearing core then a dv is essential

 

mines off now and yeh has made the gear changes smoother

 

Easiest way to run dv-less is stick a thin piece of tin/aluminium between intercooler and dump valve, that way all existing pipework remains as is

I done it on my old classic on td04 and agreed makes it feel better to drive

 

Im running
3 port
Cat back
And filter
Remapped to 270 also on a td04 what benifits would i have blanking off the dv and what are the downsides.

 

If you needed to remove DV , I make the blanking plates and pipe bungs
Check out the group buys for stuff I make
Or pm me for more info

 

Thought I'd re open this thread as my cars getting built next week now a lot of people have advised me not to blank of my dv with my TD04 hybrid because it's not strong enough to take it so I'm double checking

Sam

 

What boost ?

 

Not a clue
