I have an STi 5, with SS downpipe, mid section and backbox. Also a K&N panel filter.
Would uprating the dump valve help? If so does anyone know of the likely changes to performance and the best one to fit? Regards, Tim |
Nope...
Dump valves dont increase performance... they extend the life of the turbo... thats about it The Ver V is good anyway http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif J. |
hows the car j
sorted out the fueling? and hows the turbo? cheers daz the only thing with a dump valve is that it makes a nice noise :-} |
Howdy...
I have had a close look at the knackered turbo.. and I am sure something has got in and hit the compressor wheel... but feck knows how... The angle of the shaft in relation to the blade, points to this.... I cant see how a bearing failure could have caused the damage.. I have my new turbo here...and am just waiting for some new hi-torque clamps to arrive...any hour now.... once they are here the car will be back on the road.. Takes just under an hour to change the turbo http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif The fuelling was sorted at donington.. but I will re-adjust it with my new turbo...and reset all the boost settings..

Hi J,
Not that I disagree with your BOVs don't increase performance statement in general, ...BUT... I have an STI 3 and it is leaking boost through it's standard plastic BOV. If I uprate the BOV, it will not leak boost, so the engine will be able to hold boost correctly, so the performance will increase... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif (This is only the case with 97 cars.)
