best DV for the 225 BAM engine

[ScottHmk4]

not quite got a leon but a TT 225, same engine....anyways looking for options on the best bump valve for them? its got a baileys one on but not that loud tbh, better than standard. my mate has a forge split R one on his and to me it sounds better but hes not really whats better either, looking for personal opinions of people with experience in uprated DVs

A lot of people swear by the forge 007p dv and open cone filter

I have a split r and love it.

forge 007p mate

 

[ScottHmk4]

are the 007P quite loud, im sure thts the only my mate had in b4 switching to the split-R and i personally thought the 007P was quieter than my baileys

 

[rydogg09]

quiet because they are a recirculating valve not a blow off valve which arnt really no good for bam engines, and with a open cone you still get a nice little whistle noise and dump

i have a forge 007p with a badger 5 tip and an open cone filter and its loud!

 

[Richy Cupra]

I have a Forge 008p on mine and its quite loud. Think its fractionally louder than the 007p

So why has everyone removed the standard dump valve to fit a equally quiet one?
Did your std ones fail or was you seeking bigger boost pressures?

If you want it louder then fit an open cone filter whether its a standard recirc, uprated recirc or atmospheric DV this will without a doubt bring you some noise

 

[CharlieRCupes]

With regards to what is the "best" for the 1.8t's i would say 007/008 because they are problem free, alot of people have issues with atmospheric DV on these engines. However some dont have any issues at all with them...Depends what you want i suppose.

The standard valve works well if in good condition.

Very true, depends if its tuned or not i suppose as im not sure the plastic standard recirc is strong enough for uprated BOOOST

 

[LEE69]

A 320 bhp one ran the standard valve fine

 

[CharlieRCupes]

Really? I am nothing short of shocked at that...Is it still okay or was it for a short period?

 

[LEE69]

Still fine afaik

Agreed.

Even tho majority have forge and its a good piece of kit the standard doesbt have to be serviced every 5 mins

Asif you are actually basing which Recirc Valve is best based soley on how loud it is.

If that's all you care about just fit a megaphone next to your valve.

Exactly, just say you want a louder dump. The stock one performs well, but a lot of people run with 007/008 and a bunch with a splitr / hks ssqv / forge 004 gti. If you want a loud dump, get a bov with dual piston (forge 004/hks ssqv). You might get limp mode, but these are your best bets if yuo want the loud dump.

Im running with a Splitr in default config 70% recirc/30% dump which sounds fine to me.
