Need a question answered?

Hi,

I am looking at buying and '04 Leon Cupra R in the next week or so.

Just wondering is it possible on the Leon's to turn the standard blow off valve around the other way to give it a better noise, bit like a dump valve? My mate has got an Evo 8 and this has been done on his and it sounds the nuts?

Cheers

Dave

You can fit it in reverse - a number of people have done this by mistake in the past - but it doesn't give any great change in noise.

The closest you'll get to a full atmospheric DV is the Forge SplitR. But please... do search this forum for info on DV's as there is so much info out there from so many previous posts

Would it make a difference if the air filter was uprated aswell??

yes

Cool thats all I needed to know. I don't really like dump valves that much to be honest. Prefer the noise my mates Evo makes!

Cheers

A panel filter wont make much of a noise difference... but if you change the intake for an induction kit then you'll get more of a noise from it.

All been covered before though

as rob says, get rid of the standard bosch rubbish, fit a forge 007p diverter valve with an induction kit. i've got a BMC carbon filter on mine and you do get a little audible whoosh. i've also got a big K&N cone filter for the cooler months and it sounds evil with that on!

welcome to the forum by the way
