Its really boring this thread now.Don't know if you have this issue Misky, but do all your mates that don't know that much about cars always tell you to get a dump valve / ask if you have a dump valve? It's like.. the first thing people ask when you tell them your car has a turbo
And we're only giving our sodding opinions
It's your choice at the end of the day. I personally prefer re-circulating D/V's as they improve throttle response over atmospheric 'whoosher valves' and its nice and quiet.
They certainly knew better than Joe Bloggs does today. It was 20 years ago.. not the stone age.
Yep! like it seriously increases performance! and that its not a real turbo with one.
I've got a whoosher on the 21 and none on the GTA .The GTA had a recirc fitted as std not sure if the 21 did
To be fair, its not like the RENAULT 5 TURBOZ (cue Bill) were running massive amounts of pressure through the turbos from the factory.
They do indeed.I've got a whoosher on the 21 and none on the GTA .The GTA had a recirc fitted as std not sure if the 21 did
Almost as annoying as the F***HEADS that pronounce 'Renault' "Ren-ulT" rather than "Ren-o"
Nail, hit, head.
tim i can say i agree,
well tbh ok no dv on a fully oe reggie 5
but once boost is turnt up, surely a turbo wont last long with 15/20 psi of surge all day long
Nope what's really annoying is when they call it an Alpina
so your saying renault knew turbos better 20 years ago then they do today?
right......

Well that depends on the turbo etc.
There are plenty of members on here (including myself) who have run 'decent' levels of boost on small to medium sized blowers without a WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHER and have never had issues.
I really detest that one! I phoned up for an insurance quote years ago, and said it was for a Renault 5 gt turbo. The woman on the phone then later referred to it as a Ren-ULT 5 gt turbo, and I said that I didn't have one of those. She got all confused and asked what car I did have, so I said a Ren-O 5 gt turbo. There was a rather long silence after that!

Bill, she was probably just stunned that you, yourself, had it in you to be sarcastic
Yep, I mean it's not my usual style, is it?Bill, she was probably just stunned that you, yourself, had it in you to be sarcastic

No, I'm saying Renault knew a damn sight more about Turbo engines, and Renaults in general than you do!so your saying renault knew turbos better 20 years ago then they do today?
right......
true but thats not the conversation
im saying 20 years ago they didnt know any better to not have a dv
gosh were u been
EPIC FAIL!.... it is the conversation, as you made it the conversation with your comment.... FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL GET YOUR FAIL TICKETS FAIL FAIL FAILFAIL YOU GET FRONT ROW SEATS ON THE SHIP OF FAIL
Where have I been? Right fecking here.. My point was, irrelevant to what you may think the conversation is, that you seem to reckon you know better now than Renault did 20 years ago. Which you don't.
