Title: dump valve position...?
Post by: simon_709 on 06 April 2012, 10:05

Hi guys, I've been informed that the bailey dump valve that was fitted to my car before I bought it is not good, and after reading on here I now know that's true lol, so I've got a forge one that is correct for my car, but I was just wondering on where to put it, because the bailey one that's on atm is on the boost pipe going from the intercooler to the throttle body, is this ok? Or would I need to move it. Thanks in advance Simon

Your DV has been relocated then. Just fit the new one where the old one is and it will still work fine

Another question...because its been repositioned to the boost pipe, will it effect the performance having the bailey one on there??

shouldn't affect it in a bad way, the repositioning of it is meant to help keep the charge air being recycled a bit cooler
