Hi,

Going purchase a replacement Dump Valve soon and it appears from what I have read in these forums is that the Forge FMCL007P is the one to have. However I have just been reading another review and the guy recoomends using the Forge FMDV006.

Any advice?

Regards,
Jay
 
I think the 006 is slightly bigger and it doesn't fit under the engine cover properly (you have to raise the rear corner) - the 007 is a better fit as it's smaller :)

Dump valves are designed to release unused boost pressure when lifting off the throttle which, due to decrease in back pressure, helps to keep the turbo spinning between gear changes for faster acceleration.
So would adding a better DV like the Forge FMCL007P require notifying the insurance company? (I don't think it would; just wanna check).
Also, what is going to be the difference is driving experience with this new DV compared to my existing standard one on my 03 LC? --> Smoother? Better acceleration?

tell them to be on the safe side,they don't need an excuse not to pay up .
 
get a black DV then the insurance company probably wouldnt even tell the difference

I will not condone frauding insurance, and if you have wheels etc, or major engine work then deffo declare but some people even declare there remaps FFS :lol: its an INVISIBLE MOD, ie, THE INSURANCE COMPANY CANT FIND OUT!
 
you can look at a bailey dv30 too! i prefer the sound of the baileys

It doesnt make any difference over the standard one, if you do remap its recommended to have one.

anyone can acces SCN.and read what mods people have in there signatures.it doesn' take a genius to do a bit of brainwork.but how pissed off would you be if you crash, and then they refuse to pay up because you hadn't declared an £80.00 dump valve;) and a it wouldn't take long to find your invisable mod neither,i'd guess your invisible mod is REVO? :p
 
all that bein said though, they say in the fitting manuals that for example you can fit the forge ones either way one quiter and one noisey i'd prefer the latter to be honest but with the baileys is it fitted one way only and how much better does it sound??
 
the bailey isn't serviceable and the aftersales support (like free service kits) just isn't there.

the overall quality side by side isn't the same either (crappy plastic corner piece on the bailey
 
you sure just looked at their website and they say they have rebuildable ones for roughly the same money and from pics cant really see any plastic??
 
I agree with m0rk as I had a bailey dv30 the plastic on top was starting to bend and seemed weak, replaced it with a forge 007p I was well impressed with the forge and they provide a second to none service , the forge sounds awsome with my carbonio CAI its like GRRRRRRRR !! Whooooosshh !!
:drool: , I personally think everyone should own a forge 007p as its a great product and you can get one from bigboystoys for around £70 delivered !!

Ok, so only worthwhile if you get a remap done, i.e. there's absolutely no point in getting a new DV if the standard/existing one is causing no current issues?
 
http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=79282 if you want to buy a forge dv also the price is £75 not £70 sorry my bad.

I think its still worth getting the forge dump valve, but honestly only if you have your car remaped or if you have a CAI induction kit . I still havent remaped my car yet and I was pleased with the result I got from just a Carbonio CAI and Forge 007p dv .
