Dump valves
 

Hi, What is the best make of dump valve to get for my 2.5 sti

Mate just wait for people to start posting about how crap it is etc. Its personal choice.

What I will say is getting a cheap DV is no good the amount of issues people complain about when changing to a DV is due to them going for an inferior quality one and not a propper well made one.

I'm using a turbosmart one and it seems good. Its about £300 but its worth it.

i have a bailey motor sport dump valve on my classic and its never given me any probs

Standard is best or forge re circ.

stick to standard and save your hard earned

got a forge on my classic had no probs wi it

I have also got a forge one,Had a baileys before but not as good as the forge one :thumb:

I have hks Ssqv on mine and it seems ok!! Do have a Sard for sale that's adjustable if your interested fella!!

Buy what you like, it's your car, but stick to the recirculating type;)

That's what your car is set up for, and it will run better, and safer, with that type.

You DO know, of course, that there is NOTHING to be gained under 500bhp by changing the d/v, and lots to be lost?

Vent to atmosphere DV's ...... just dont bother unless your mafless! All theyre good for is getting the maccy d's car park skanks a little bit moister!

Otherwise a forge recirc for a quality bit of kit which is nicely tunable with a spring kit.

Forge VTA here, if you drive round locally off boost it is silent, it only really makes the noise when you are pushing on a bit.

been told by a top tuner to go standard recirc or forge motorsports ? not baileys they usually suffer with spring failure ?

i run a forge vta and i'd like to think i've got good power

I hate to say it but this man is right! :)

removed mine completely and it is a million times better

Dump valve
 

I gotta SSQV 4 on my sti and it sounds the nuts!! Jus ain't got it recirculating yet

depends on the turbo hf's cant take it td05's there ok

Why thank you my man...........I knew you couldn't REALLY be from Hull. :D

You really ought to qualify that statement, we don't want people with turbos that WON'T take that mod trying it out on your say-so, do we?:)

Fit the loudest one you can, the wimmens panties fall clean off.

+1 my mrs dont like that you cant hear mine over the chatter

ok, well i removed an APS dual vent recricualtion and blocked both hoses from turbo inlet and FMIC, had the car remapped and the difference was night and day, throttle response was much better, no smell of over fuelling and the car generally ran smoother and less hesitant at low speeds.

just to add the difference was immediately apparent before the remap just before anyone says the map sorted them issues.

I like how they drive with no dump valve and the sound is lovely but this will apparently shorten the life of your turbo. Having said that a blitz ppppsssssssstttttttttsssssssssshhhhhhhh is quite a lovely sound as well. I've tried standard, VTA, and dump valve delete all with no problems but prefere none. At the end of the day though it's your car so it's your decision. If you want to be 100% safe keep it standard, Start modding and you may suffer parts failing. You pays your money you take your chance.

did you find any noticable gains over the oem bov, only Turbosmart in their sales pitch are claiming, better:- acceleration, boost hold and less lag ?
Trev

All rubbish......IMHO

IF they were any good, surely manufacturers would fit them for the gains?

I don't know if they're any good, thats why I asked.:) Although you could just about go through the whole car with that question.
If the oem part lost some of it's efficiency over time how would you know?
Trev

Agreed Trev, but that's not what I thought you asked?

I was saying that you won't get those gains just by fitting a d/v....ANY d/v.

Now if the original was on the way out........that's another story, yes.

But ask ANY tuner on here, he'll say what I say;)

Didn't see their sales pitch lol. I did notice a difference but I'm running mafless. You notice the drop in lag after 2nd gear thats where it made most of its difference.

In some countries they are banned etc so its just to be standard. Just like the standard map that comes with the car. :)

Don't get one
Too many running issues with them over the years
Do a search

All the enthusiasts will laugh at you and say well you just need a rearward facing baseball hat and oversized trainers and trackies and Argos chain

But the 15 year old girls at McD will love you long enough together a baby and council house :D
