Anyone tell me what this is??

recirc valve blank, do you have a dump valve?

 

Blanking plate for recirc valve i think mate

 

Can you run a blanking plate without having a dump valve as I've listened to one and it's got a wicked chatter but no dump valve just a blanking plate

 

Sure you can.. Just be prepared to fork up money for a new turbo soon.. And hopefully just a turbo that is..

 

Is this not boost pressure dependent, with more being worse?

Could be stock levels not enough to cause damage.

 

I'm not disagreeing mate, just offering a counter viewpoint that does seem to the opinion of many.

 

Got a blanking plate on mine, with no dump valve. Sounds soo much better than with a dump valve on. Ran it for 7 months now remapped and its been Spot on. No probs so far.

 

out of interest , why do you run a blanking plate and not a forge recirc valve ? mine sounds pretty good with just the recirc valve.

 

Different sound I guess. Came across a vid of Jamie's with the blanking plate and I actually quite like it. Something a bit different.

 

There's a video of a guy going round track in his megane, he's got no dump valve and a blanking plate and it chatters really well sounds nice. Mine is standard at the min with a remap but still gives out a loud tshhh.

 

Oooo interesting, extra noise you want makes it a occasion while driving, I do like a bit chatter... You sure it's not going to damage anything or need any other work?
As blanking plate is cheaper than a dump valve and that was my next purchase. (And rear discs)

 

Let me know please dude..

 

The blanking plate is on its way to me.
You've not done anything else to your car? And you've had no problems??

What did you do with the thin pipe work once fitted?? Just blanked off also?
(4mm vacuum pipe I think)

 

Recirc blank and induction kit make for some lovely noises. Gets my vote.
