dump valve relocation

[cus]

i relocated my dumpvalve to my throttle body a while ago.. no problems, but found it was catching on my bonnet. and rattles when my engine is turning off. its also took some paint off.

i've not got the dumpvalve underneith the throttle body, instead of on top, and its changed the sound of the dumpvalve a fair bit.. this wont effect the efficiency of it though? or be causing any problems with it being upside down will it??

thanks,
marcus


hope its not a stupid question!!

what dv u got ive done this to mine recently with a turbosmart i got the "kompact" series had no problems with it atall...

its an AMD dumpvalve, cant remember the model. its definately put in the correct way, but just upside down, so it doesn't hit the engine.. just sounds very different now!

if its amd id assume it would be the 007p from forge or simillar. Where abouts on the valve is it hitting/rubbing shouldnt see why it would rub on anything have you got any pic's of how you have it...mine is running on its side parallel to the floor if u understand what i mean...

some pictures of mine on here.

Just sounds like you've got the t-piece pointing to far up. Lay it flat with the DV at the back of it

i've got the T piece upside down, because the 25mm hosing i've got isn't long enough, or flexible enough to bend all the way around, so i've made it straight as possible.
so basically my dumpvalve is underneith the pipe coming off the throttle body.
just wanted to make sure that it wont effect the dumpvalve at all..

No wont effect the dump at all mate

well i'm happy now! with it hidden has actually tidied up the engine bay loads! then again, it did stand out loads with it being purple!
