Dump valve is next on my list I reckon.

Loud or quiet?
I keep changing my mind, but am leaning more toward quiet.  I like the idea of it making a noise, but don't want people judging me as a chav :)

Forge 007p it is then : http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=&product=FMCL007P  :wink:

Yeah, as long as someone can promise me there's a noticeable difference of "some kind" ;)

Hmmm no!  (Will hold boost for longer) But you will NEED one when you get her remapped because the standard dv will fall apart  :smiley:

First day to have the car during some decent sunlight, so I've taken a few snaps, I apologise it's quite dirty after just 3 days!!  You'll notice I've added smoked side repeaters onto it, I really like them! :)

Btw, I looked inside the engine and noticed two things.

1)  I appear to have some Audi parts inside it!!



2)  The dump valve looks REALLY hard to get to :(

It's right at the back, I can hardly reach at it, and there's some pipes in the way.  I think the jubilee clip at the bottom is going to be a RIGHT pain to get to.

nahhh not at all. they're the fiddly vw clips and they WILL mash out of shape when you remove them (needle nose pliers to seperate is best, or just wedge a screwdriver in and bend it out) so replace with normal jubilee clips. all the hoses are flexible enough to be bent out of the way to get access, it really is a 10 minute job :smiley:

And the whole lengh of 4mm silicon tubing will need replacing?  So I'll need 2 tiny jubilee clips as well.
