I've got a Carbonio induction kit (which makes a great noise) its more of the turbo noise I was looking to change

Fair enough, I'll just say it, I think Dump valves are awesome . . . And you'll definatley get people turning their heads! ( Sorry guys )!




If you want a car that has a loud burbling exhaust that goes wurrrrrm doshhhhhh every time you lift your foot of the pedal.. Then why not just buy a car that is designed to do this?


Because I love my golf and I do thousands of miles a month in my dirty diesel hahaha, and something that makes them kind of noises aren't going to give me 60 MPG hahaha

So you do thousands of miles each month and still think you won't get annoyed with the sound after a month or so... I know I'd rather have a nice quite car if I was doing lots of long journeys every month.

Haha! I probably would, but I'm still a child at heart!  :grin: Had a megane 225 as a track car and that had a ridiculous dump valve on it, but was awesome haha!

I don't want it to turn heads, far from it, I don't want any attention (I'm old now, been there done that!) It's just that I have heard the turbo noise on some cars and it sounds ace, not just a dump valve, not sure what it is  :embarrassed: Go easy on me I know very little about turbo's, this is my first turbo car  :shocked:
