    Is this a joke? It's not what the d/v cost you, it's what it could cost you if it stops working again.

    Just buy a diaphram type if you're that bothered.

    ah i see,well i had a diaphrame one and it was ****.

    well if it stops working,

    itll ether cause comprsser surge or just not close and blow boost out the dv

    why what can happen as im confussed to the cause and effect a dv can have if it fails

    Re: piece of $hit

    The turbo will keep spooling until the boost is reached, however it will not do this as its got a leak so this will put extra strain on the turbo meaning that it could fail on itself.

    That's simply the vacuum eventually overcoming the tension of the dump valve spring. In other words, that's perfectly normal.

    Edit to say. And likewise, it's normal for a dump valve to sit 'open' with the engine idling.

    ok, i mean when i had the engine running, the dv snapped open after 1sec and got stuck and took ages for it to close whent he vac hose was took away,
    now it pops open and shut instantly

    sorry i wasnt clear

    and yes they are open when idle

    It doesn't, and for want of not willing to start another xx page thread on it, I'll leave it there.

    As for not wanting to hear compressor surge, you could always refit the o.e airbox as that helps 'mute' the surge noise...plus, imho, it's one of the best air-filter setups to have in situ anyway.

    Again, Renault had it right from the factory...

    No dumpvalve does not stress a turbo, Especially at your mediocre boost level. How many times does it need to be said on the same topic.

    so replying to my post that dump valves dont stress the turbo then what else is he ment to be saying when im saying surge damages a turbo

    i dont see the fooking problem i want a dv who cares, if you want compresser surge and then to damage your tuebo go ahead,

    people are getting confussed, including me over crossed commnication so things are beeing covered twice,

    Running without a dump valve will not overstress the turbo at your level of boost .You don't like the sound of compressor surge so fit a re-circ valve .This will make no sound at all and everybody happy

    im just saying every one is saying chuck the dv in the bin and im saying i dont want to which is then apprently frowned apon,
    then moving on the compresser surge im beeing told "with my level of boost" it wont damage my turbo,
    but then you dont know what my level of boost is so i purly asked if you did,

    tbh im beeing made to look a complete wan.ker here and its not realy fair

    It's not what your saying it's the way you say it .
    Have a dv if you want one ,get one that works and there you go .
    All people are saying is that it won't hurt the turbo to run without one ....up to you which forum gurus you chose to worship .
    In my experience the ones on here are top notch

    If you actually read what he said, and realised that he was using correct Grammar and punctuation, you would have realised the point he was making was that running with NO dumpvalve does NOT stress the turbo.

    True. You could have bought another £20 piston d/v and still had £5 spare for a comedy dunce hat instead.
