Damsel in distress....

i have just recently purchased an sti hawkeye 2006 type uk.. The car has been remapped and has a full stainless exhaust. I have had trouble with the dump valve which was fitted as it was sticking (it was a really poor after market one called turbosmart not so smart!!!) I am seeking some advice as to which dump valve to go for i would like a whoosy one but want the best for the car... please advise i here the hks are good and also the bailey???

Get a standard one it's best for the car.

Having done lots and lots of research and reading many posts/opinions, the standard one is best for the car, so I've kept mine standard. If you MUST have one, then the HKS SSQV sounds the best in my opinion

By the way, can you not hear the standard one whooshing slightly when driving on boost?

I have a Forge VTA on for 27,000miles now no probs. Just about the right noise level just to let you know turbos still boosting

As said by others here ..fit back an original recirc valve unless it's been mapped with one. It doesn't do the engine any good or give you more power..it just makes the engine run rich.
These cars aren't the cheapest cars to run and making the car have even worse fuel economy imo is mad.
I tried 1 once on my 1st ever WRX with PPP etc and was getting 200miles to a tank of petrol..got sick of it after 2 months ,took it off and time after time got approx 280miles to a tank.
Do a search on here about dump valves and you'll read how people in the same situation have posted how much better their cars perform.
Just my 2ps worth.

I have had no problems with Forge Atmospheric, still sounds good and half the price of HKS?
