Dump Valves yay or nay?
#5
I hear what you are saying, but for some strange reason I still want one.
I really can’t understand why the factory fitted one is so dam good, surly it can be equalled or improved upon.
I just love that “Ker Tooosh” sound
Sorry, it's just the kid in me trying to get out.

Most definately undoutbly a nay. Buy a atmos dump valve next stop Macdonalds car park with the Chav's. No performance advantage and majortiy of joe public would think your an a**e.
But hey thats just me, everyone to their own, I hate these with a passion.

I go through fits and starts. Had HKS SSQV fitted then decided too chav so returned to standard............then kinda missed it and now have a Turbosmart one fitted
Started to really get on my nerves when I was driving the car every day but now as I only use it weekends not too bad. Plus you only have to hear it when you open her up a bit
Probably coming off again next week lol.........

If you're a chav, then "DEFINATELY, YES, ABSOLUTELY, MANDATORY!!!" (It helps us non-chavs recognise you before we even set eyes on you.)
If you're not a chav, then "No, absolutely not, what were you thinking?" (Unless you're an incognito agent of the state investigating chav criminal fraternities.)

Obviously the dump valve has to be atmospheric!!!
But.. there is a whole range of options eg: full on Blitz which will make the ketoosh noise to the full.... or something like I have on my STi Ver III, a forge motorsport 1- perfect noise and tone.

My car came with a dunp valve fitted. It's coming off today and the original parts going back on. Sounds crap, is embarassing, does nothing for performance and makes me feel like a chav.
Don't bother - give the money to charity. That'll make you feel better.

Personally I,ve just purchased my first Subaru MY2001 UK Turbo (classic shape).
Totally Standard when purchased but fitted a dump valve.
With Dump valve: Car makes an amusing noise but a bit annoying after a bit,
seems to hold back a bit on light throttle opening and the intake noise (turbo spinning up) dissapears.
Personally I prefer the standard one, I can here the turbo much more and the car feels alot more responsive (faster pick up on part throttle).
Dump valve now sits in a box in my garage!

i actually like the sound but not of all dump valves
theres a certain one which has a sharp tinny noise to it. Pretty loud but i dont know what it is. Some say its a Bailey and others say Forge
God knows what it is but i want one

my car came with a HKS SSSV on it and while it does make a noise, it isn't too bad.
Might be the one you're referring to kilo as it's a very sharp noise that isn't too loud or last for bloody ages....
[flame suit]Oh, and not an ounce of 'chav' in me....lol[/flame suit]

Horico the one im on about definately doesnt last for ages but it is rather loud. When in a resdential area it rattles the street. But it isnt a woosh noise. Ive heard it on many imprezas but its a sharp pistony noise lol
