Hi,

I'm new here having just bought my first impreza wagon.

I'm looking for a dump valve, it doesn't have to be the best one in the world or cost the earth. I know the pro's and cons but I just want to try it out (live a little)...

Does anyone have one that would fit a 97? Its not a direct fit to the intercooler there is a pipe from the intercooler down to the recic valve.

Anyone got one (plus fitting kit and bung obviously)

Yeah all the people who are regretting buying one in the first place due to the lumpy running and over fuelling issues and are now reverting back to the original recirculating item


Plus the fact they sound sh*t

How easy was it to fit as it doesn't come with a fitting kit or bung.

So did it come with a bung?

I take it you used the original pipe (the one that leads of the intercooler nearest the front) and cut it shorter so that the valve sat closer to the intercooler rather than the current position of the recic valve?

I take it the thin tube that goes to the recic valve just gets switched over onto the dump valve.

Sorry, have had to work out whats what as only got my impreza a few days ago...

Thanks for your help...
