Been researching dump vavles and....

[Nino]

Hey guys,

Firstly thankyou for clicking this topic, on saturday I will be picking up my first ever turbo car, mk4 1.8T like most people that get a turbo im interested in getting a dump vavle for it at some point.

Now I have read that there are, atmos ones, recurit ones, cheap ones and expensive ones.
I have also read that done wrong, could cause problems and even worse MPG.

Now as much as I would like one, if its going to come at a cost to my engine i wont do it, I plan on really looking after this car, using only super fuel, full tank with petrol magic (the turbo one) each month, and service every 6 months.

I also have read that alot of people see dump vavles as a "chav" thing, i am in no way a chav, and to be honest im supprized a "chav" would insure a turbo as im certain they would have no year no claims 

Any advice would be brilliant.

Thankyou
Nino

Best and only "dump valve" I would use is the forge 007 or 008p re-circulating valve and nothing else.

if your on a budget get one from here they are exactly the same as the forge ones and myself ,wayne i think, and a few others are using these with no probs as said its same as the forge one without the big price tag  if you can get one cheaper then even better

friend of mine put one of those on his TT. 2 weeks later the seals had deteriorated. They may look the same as the forge ones but the quality just isn't there in my opinion.

Thanks alot, so it seems id be better off getting a decet forge 007 or 008 and decent turbo pipes and ensure i use a recurit valve? If my uderstanding is correct?

I was going to get one but got lucky with a genuine Forge 007

Yes you cannot run a dump valve it needs to be a recirculating type

really as on inspection they appear to be the same inside as the forge mines been on for well over a year with no probs it was nick at r-tech that recomended it to myself as he done some research on them i guess its just luck of the draw with anything you buy could be good or a bag of sh!te 
ah remember you on about one wayne didnt know if you got it or not my mistake

They get really good reviews on Briskoda and other forums, was just about to get one but was offered a s/h Forge at a really good price.
