what is the likely outcome ?
« on: 14 June 2013, 00:21 »
I've just had a quick read about different kinds of diverter valves / dump valves.
I've currently got a forge 007p but not entirely pleased with the noise. I fully appreciate that it's never going to sound like a Scooby but the Bailey's dv26 sounds excellent and also the forge splitter sounds quite nice.

My engine is an agu and I'm wondering if I put one of these on instead of the 007p, what will be the worst case scenario. As I'm still trying to get the noise  :evil:

Yeah I've already had a read mate, but as I've got nothing to record the differences in the valves, all I have to go by is the lights on the dashboard. If this makes any sense

From all the research I have done, the AGU engine seems to be the only engine that you "can" use a blow off valve but people still advise against it.

Come listen to my forge 007p and tell me it's not loud  :wink:
Not that I want it loud, it just is. Like I told you, you need a remap in your life. More boost, more psssst.
Also the open filter I'm currently running makes it loud.

What is needed in total to put an s2k filter on it. ?

 My car is totally bog standard apart from 007p dv, I'm not familiar with the s2k but I'll look into it if it's suitable for mine

Have a look here:

To fit an S2000 filter you'll need a silicone reducer, the filter itself and a heatshield.

Thanks for that dom, I've already got a filter here that's got a plastic surround to it and a hollow end so air can get through the filter. Is this a filter with already a heatshield around it ? Like I've said before I was given it to me by a guy who had it on his vectra 24v. Or do I still need a heatshield even with this. As I've looked on the net and only seem to find the exposed filters with heat shields.

I've yet to see a cone filter with a plastic casing and also a heatshield.

If that makes any sense
