Title: Dump valve advice
Post by: A5H on 20 October 2013, 20:12
So.... I have just got a 2000 MK4 Golf 1.8T

I have been reading up on fitting a dump valve, ive read all the stickys etc

Now my car is 2000 on a W and been reading some have problems even with the splitter valve by Forge?

Im looking at a second hand dump valve on ebay... Should i risk the buy and hope my car will be fine or not?

Do i need to buy anything other than the dump valve and some 4mm replacement hose?

Do any of you have a dump valve on your 2000 MK4 Turbo?

Thanks for looking in  :smiley:

It's not very hard to get a 1.8t to a suitable power to beat standard stis etc
I beat a p1 in mine and arn't they one of the quicker scoobs?

Yeah I'm sure   :wink:

The p1 is only 280bhp 252lbft and weighs 1750kg and the extra transmission loss of 4wd

Whereas a golf with 250bhp and 310lbft weighing 1400kg......

Win for the golf  :grin:

The mk4 platform can handle well it just takes work!
All you have to do is look at prawns a3, on a recent track day he was keeping with a track spec scooby.
And now mine has the cage in and is stripped it handle quite nice  :cool:
