Can I ask why you bought a car with a load Of bits on then remove all the bits??

Also this must be your first turbo car I'd do some reaserch about them befor you start doin anything else, like 'removing the dump valve' (unless its atmospheric and you want a recirculating one on there)

Where is the dump valve? Usual place? or has it been relocated to the cold side?

Is the car mapped? If so you'll need a after market recirculating valve, e.g. Forge 008p. If not a standard recirc. valve will do.

I took the car in swap on my m3
and wasnt missing a deal on an R32 rep only owing me £500 and wanting it back original thats why and no its not my first turbo but first with a dump valve. Its not my every day car keeping for a toy. I dont want the dump valve and not just taking it off with out thinking about it this is why i have asked for some advice from people who know what there talking about.

You can put on a recirc valve the same as what your other turbo cars used.
They run better with a recirc anyway so beat to doth the dump valve  :wink:

Does it have an induction kit or standard air box? If you run the fully recirculating forge 007p valve you will still get a dumping noise and will be silent with the standard air box
