true. thought i might ask tho cuz on the installation guide it says to make sure nothing is teed into the vac pipe. but still thinking off switching to the fpr just incase. and also to get a more acurate boost reading i was hitting just under 1 bar pressure before the dv was fitted now im hitting just over 1 bar fitted? dunno if thats right for a remapped cupra?
Air is recirculated back into the intake pipe yes, not the charge pipe, boost pressure from the charge pipe goes into the DV. For the turbosmart to work correctly charge air must enter the bottom of the valve.
Also try and have a non-t'eed vacuum source directly from manifold to dump valve if possible - teeing into the vac pipe weakens the vacuum and affects how the valve operates (might not open far enough to properly vent).

As said, a weak vacuum can cause problems with the DV yes.
All my vacuum connections come directly off the manifold, the SEM manifold has 6 vacuum takeoffs.

The LC180 as 3 take offs i saw, one to the FPR and the other two go under towards the N249 (i think) ?
So if you by-pass the N249 that leaves one each for the dump valve, FPR and the boost gauge.

There is also a large one at the end of the manifold for the brake servo plus one on top of the throttle body.

theres a small article on running both standard recirc valve and uprated dv at the same time in the link above.
has anyone tried this i.e one recurculating and the other blowing off to atmos.?

Just fitted mine dont it sound nice 
i need a boost gauge tho to check the boost anybody done this ?

How do you compare it soundwise against the a fully recirc/007?
well 007= a mouse fart Turbosmart = what you want trust me the 007 aint any good only if you want a stealth turbo
Are you running a standard map?
I might have to invest and see what one of these comes out like with more boost...

yep all standard other than what's in the sig mate sounds really nice when changing gear,
I was like you thinking should i but now i got it and i wouldn't swap it for the 007

told you it sounded nice
glad to hear no faults too.
they do sound wikid.
at low throttle you get a flutter then at full its a loud tsssshh!
I love that flutter sound, it sounds kind of evil. I get it now with the 007 but I hear that's air going back through the turbo.

yeah this is the same as the pistons not opening up as much. i had it with a bmc cda kit sounded so loud with the turbo whistle too.
