Hi
I have tried posting on the main forum and no replies yet . Anyway I need some advice please. My wife had bought me a dump valve for christmas ,anyway she said i could fit it now and then if any problems it could be sorted out. Well i have 2 problems,the first is ( i hope she doesnt read this) it was an HKS copy and not an original, anyway fitted it and it doesnt work, it doesnt make a sound at all and the valve stays shut. So it has got to go back anyway,which is a good thing coz i can buy a proper one .....Has anyone on here got one for sale?? . Ok the next bit is a blue pipe next to the one that goes on the dump valve. It has been split with a T piece but then the bottom of the T has been blanked with a small bolt...... why?.
If any one can look at my engine pic and answer the couple of questions i would really appreciate it. Cant believe its a christmas pressy and it wont work.
Spent all day messing around for nothing.

 

The blue pipe is for a boost gauge, the previous owner of the car must have taken it out before he sold it. You just need a boost gauge and feed into the car, I did.

Loads of places you can buy a HKS dump valve from:

Scoobyclinic
RE Motorsport
Precious metal to name a few.

 

I am going to Precious metal in the morning if you want to follow me down they will be glad to answer any questions.. bri.

What do they do at precious metals? also what sort of boost gauge would i need for my car, is there a difference on the amount of boost they show on the gauge?
cheers

 

You don't need a specific gauge, they're all pretty much universal so depends which one you like the look of.

Theres two measurements of boost - BAR or lb/ft - most people prefer BAR, don't know why, they just do.

Prices range between £20 and £90 depending on which one you want and where you get it from.
