Just spoke to them, and after struggling to understand the lad on the end of the phone got a price... £99 for 007p, £112 for 008 - not great!

Not much he could say about a possible discount, as Forge are pretty tight with RRP's so they have consistency across distributors blah blah blah.

Anyway from the short 5 min phonecall to these guys all I can say is they were super helpful and really friendly.

I'm just gonna get mine from e-Parts.co.uk - £83.65 free delivery

That is a really good price tbh! Nice one.

It wont 'dump' air if theres the correct required amount going through the intake into the turbo. If you increase the air flow by installing an open filter there is more pressure when you drop off the throttle and so excess pressure is 'dumped' giving the 'tssshh'

Oh and remove the bonnet lining, makes a big difference!

Cheers for the insight in the post above, suppose I have to learn somewhere haha. Ah I pulled the lining when I first bought it

You need an open cose to get the dump or fit a valve that dumps.(won't ever be as loud as an open cone)

It wont 'dump' air if theres the correct required amount going through the intake into the turbo. If you increase the air flow by installing an open filter there is more pressure when you drop off the throttle and so excess pressure is 'dumped' giving the 'tssshh'

It will dump if the valves are 50/50 50 to atmo (hence the dump noise) and 50 to recirculate.
