Only two comments on a dump valve thread made me think it must have been a sensible question

As others have said, it will bolt straight on. Just be aware if you haven't already, get a new gasket as the old ones don't always survive on removal.

Its not a dump valve. Its a diverter (or recirc) valve

It's not JUST a dump valve, if you upgrade it to a vent to air dump valve you could add as much as 30bhp to the car!

There. That should satisfy teh normal dump valve argument thread criteria!

only 30hp on an STI though - a TD04 wrx can't harness the full power of the venting that's why the end up slower.

Actually, my mates Dad's son said that my WRX sounded like it had gained at least 100 bhp after I bolted the VTA dump valve on. That coupled with my carbon bonnet puts my WRX somewhere close to 500bhp now.

I'm doing well!

And BrownPantsRacing takes the first hurdle with a nicely delivered bit of sarcasm.

If I fit 2x dump valves will I double my power? I COULD get up to 1000bhp then!

I know they used to fit 2x dump valves to the old renault 5 engines in the good old days.

you can fit two dump valves, but you need the resistor power mod that is banned in the UK so you can only buy them off ebay china where they are not outlawed.

The resistor blocks the ECU signal to stop the turbo making any more power so in effect if fully de-restricts the car.

I read about this on the internet and it was also confirmed by 2 professors and my local butcher.

If you are fitting the controversial resistor mod does it still work with the electric intake fan (electric supercharger) I have purchased?

you should also consider an intake vortex generator like this:


just like a real tornado - cylonic vacumisation occurs in the intake track forcing additional air into the turbine wheel effectively doubling the dynamic airflow capacity of the impeller.

i have a degree in thermovacumular endopoweronics from the institute of advanced subrewficiation - you should believe this.

yes - the high starch content from the spuds works like meth injection raising the octane rating of your fuel allowing you to add 20 degrees ignition advance across the map.

It's made the exhaust pop lots after the mod, I had no idea why until I read all the technical literature that came with the induction kit. Apparently, once you pop you can't stop! Must be my issue!

Does it finally make the MX5 more agressive and less hairdresserery?

n00b! I bet you only have a WRX - anyone worth their moustache knows they potatoes up until you've used up all their octane points then you are left with chips which you can recycle into LPG (liquidified potatoe gunk)
