Dump valves don't work on diesels, or they don't work well. Don't do it.

Do you think it would impare the performance or fuel efficiency mate?
It dosent need to work well, just be f#@?$ng loud.
This OEM+ motor has turned into custom, and gone on to be of comedy value
So now i thought, loud d-valve to match its LOUD appearance

I think the way a diesels works dump valves just don't work. Ummm, I'm sure there is a thread about it in the mk4 maintenance section somewhere!  :undecided:

diesels have no throttle air restriction, like a petrol does, so totally pointless.....
