Hi I'm taking my dump valve off and leaving just a blanking plate in, need to know what to do with the pipe that comes off the end of the dump valve?? I've got a forge boost pipe to replace the DV t piece Cheers
You have to put the Recirculation valve back to its place if you are taking out the DV. It is a must.
I think if you follow the small pipe back, itself goes to a t piece, remove the pipe and replace the t piece with a straight through joint.
You can keep the blanking plate, but I'm not sure I'd want that pressure going backwards to the turbo.
I have a dump valve and when I change itl be forge recirc. Blanking plate sounds lovely with the chatter. Some folk say don't others say do it may fuck ur turbo through time which is a good excuse for an upgrade bt I won't wreck it straight away or for a long time I would have thought
You will just kill turbo in a while if you do not put a recirculation valve to its place. The surge sound is a nice feeling but practically you are destroying the turbo on every surge.
I had a 400+bhp skyline that had neither a atmos BOV or recirc valve, and it was perfect and was pushing a hell of alot more air through than the wee turbo on the meg. Only thing that killed it was me blowing the gearbox lol Cheers mate, any idea what size that joint would be? have left it for tonight, will tackle it tomorrow. Cheers
Then there should be a normal dumbvalve where you can not see. because in every gear change and releasing the throttle makes a back pressure and while the turbo is running in one side it forces to run in the otherside. So that makes a big load on the turbo bearings and propellers. If you are running so hot then your prop can not handle it and brake or get bend.
