bov/dump valve, confused ?

[boostabuse]

hi. i'm new to the forum and only had my ibiza cupra for a couple of weeks now. i've been a member on toyotagtturbo.com for a while now as i also drive a glanza. now, as we're on the subject od dump valves/blow off valves i have a question. i'm confused about the dump valve situation on these engines. i use a normal bailey bov on my glanza and get a nice wooosh and i want the same on my cupra. i have searched the forum but i still don't fully understand. i know the cupra engine needs a re-circulating dv is that right ? i have a forge one on the car at the moment but you can only just hear the dump. i've been looking for other dv's/bov's for the cupra and i've found this one and i need to know a.will it work with no problems ? and b.will i get a louder wooosh ? here's the one i was looking at -

'SPLIT R'' RECIRCULATING BLOW OFF VALVE FOR VAG 1.8T ENG'S

Product Code: FMDVSPLTR

it won't let me post the pic ?

it says this will work with all vag 1.8t engines but is this correct or will i have problems and will it give me a wooosh like the bailey on my glanza does ?

all replies would be very much appreciated from a clueless new member !

you want a sound go turbosmart kompact dual port. but there is loads of info on here about dv's. you just have to search. or should i say just a little because its everwhere.

thanks mate. so the forge 'split R' is a definate no no then ? what about the bailey dv30 ? or the 007 ? will they be any louder than the forge one i have on the car now ? also, i can't find anywhere that sells the 007 or the turbosmart one your on about. any idea's ? i just wanna see some pics and prices etc. i have spent a while searching the forum but i'm so used to tgtt.com it's taking a while to get used to this one ! will the turbosmart one be fine in terms of performance of the car etc ?

thanks.

tbh dude i have a split-r and its loud enough . .its just down to what people think of each dv , some people have the split-r and some have the 007 .

 

[mr_D]

i mentioned turbosmart. did you miss that?

the split r aint as bad as ppl make out. but what im saying is tha a turbosmart is louder.

 

[boostabuse]

i saw you said turbosmart mate. lol. anyone know where i can see pics and prices of the turbosmart and the 007 ? i can only find the split R and dv30 on most of the performance car parts sites i can find.

 

[mr_D]

a company called aet turbos, find it on google. or search the bay for one. and dont forget american bay

have you had any probs with your car since fitting the split r ? any drop of boost etc.

 

[Daymo]

dont know much about dump valves seeing as i have a non turbo'd car, but i think mr.D is on about this one mate

http://www.southwestmotorsport.com/...uct_info&cPath=8_100_469_470&products_id=1395

its £165 so i dont know whether that is cheap or not?? that should help you though boostabuse, but you'll never get one as whooshy as your glanza im afraid

nope i not had any problems with it at all . its been runing ok . . touch wood lol

 

[mr_D]

the turbosmart will be as loud if not louder. search mykis thread on the turbosmart. there are some sound clips

Thats the link for the 007P

I bought one of these after looking around the forum

When i fitted it I got no noise until I fitted an indution kit now I get a nice little chatter

 

[mr_D]

if you get chatter then its too tight, chatter is the turbo stalling and this will cause your turbo life to become very short. you should get a woosh of air through the filter not chatter

when you say chatter do you mean it will be a 'pigeon'/tweeting doves' like sound?
im a bit clueless about dump valves as well only had my car since saturday lol

no. chatter is turbo stalling. the whistle your on about is what you get from things like the hks ssqv which if you type into youtube will come up with some sound clips

 

[Dougy]

Well i asked on here when I fitted the filter because I don't want the turbo stall as I know what it does but people were saying it was normal with the 007P after fitting a filter

I always thought it was when the DV was wrong way round but mine is def right way thats why i got confused

Which bit is too tight? Cheers

 

[mr_D]

it depends on your sound. if it sounds like chatter then its the turbo stalling. if it sounds like a constant rush of air then its the dv working.

the spring maybe to stiff. ie being too tight for the air to push the piston up

i have just searched but cant find the sound clips u on about . . sorry if i not searched right but could u put up link please
