I have a forge dump valve that I used on my 182/225 hybrid engine with TD04 turbo and TBH quite liked the noise but cant decide on whether to use it on my new forged GT2860rs setup or not.
What are the pros, cons and alternatives to using a VTA dump valve? :scratch:
Cheers
Some love them some hate them bud.. I had a forged for a while but since I turned the boost up it blew off a pipe.so I removed it and now I like the chatter instead :)

I'm sure I'm a minority though

Does it not affect throttle response or turbo life to not have anything?
It doesnt affect anything not having a dumpvalve - the pro's of not having one fitted are no boost leaks and your car wont sound like a bus
I know what you mean, the DV lets you know there's a turbo there. :DQuote:

I'll probably just use it again as I cant see any drawbacks with it other than the love or hate noise.
So you're a fan of them then? ;)Quote:
