I imagine the main thing to bear in mind with a turbo car is to leave the engine running for a minute or three after a run where the engine has had a good work out. My turbo timer takes care of that for me.

I thought all Skylines had a turbo-timer on them as standard (?)
Lots of debate on the usefulness of a dump valve - whether or not they are effective when running big boost, sucking unfiltered air, creating lag and all sorts of things.
Personally, I think they are worth having - and they sound great

IMHO amtmosphere dump values suck the big one! They sounds bloody stupid around town and everybody thinks your a boy racer. You only really need them when running stupid boost pressures.

find someone who has one in their car and drive around in it for a bit. If you can last ten minutes without getting pissed off with the noise get one.
If you want noise get one of those HKS Super Dragger Small Children Swallower Exhausts.

(PS sorry to every one who has a dump valve)

Might I suggest you check the UK GTR Register also as they may be able to give some advice.
I have an HKS valve. When fitted to a Supra this valve sounds like a dormouse farting. You need to be running big boost and have minimal soundproofing to hear it inside the car [Supra].
If you are planning to do modifications other than your filter and valve I suggest you ask a lot more questions before parting with your hard-earned wedge too easily.
A few people I know have been stung rather badly by shoddy workmanship.
Enjoy the noise ...
