I bought my first scoob in March, MY96 wagon uk spec and std oem valve. I got the impression that dump-valves were frowned upon at that time.

Why is it that they seem to have become the latest mod to have? I have a baily dump valve, very little turbo lag and a smile inducing whoosh!!

Have scoobs become the new Escort RS Turbo ( flame suit on ).

Skoosh.

 

hehe, I used to have a Fiesta RS Turbo, as of 1 and a bit years ago i've had a scooby, and in the last 2 months i added a blitz dv, read into that what you will

I'm a boy racer at heart but I can afford a scooby! (barely)

 

Why do ppl fit them in the first place.

Chip.

 

Because of the lovely " TSSSCHHH " noise !

 

There's certainly no need to change unless the standard one's either broken or you're running enough boost to make it leak. This much is just as true now as it was last March, and indeed the people who "frown" on aftermarket dump valves probably still do.

They haven't. Maybe that's just an impression you've gained from reading a few DV related threads?

Lol! It's probably fair to say that as the older ones become cheaper, they're becoming more affordable to people who're more interested in posing than in the pure performance aspects of the car, yeah.

 

Love the noise !!!

 

I don't like them - sounds like your car is sneezing all way down the road.

Also makes no performance difference unless your running extra boost

Its generally accepted that if you need to hold more boost then you can put an aftermarket one on which is recirculating so there is no real reason for a vent to atmosphere whatever, unless you like the sound, which i do

 

i've got an HKS and yes, it makes no difference in power at all.....but i love that wwwssssssssccccccchhhh sound. But as they say each to their own.
