which DV for loud whoosh?

[Dyscontinued]

Ok two things.

1) What does drilling the air box do?

2) How come buses and trucks do that when they're diesel? Thought you didn't need a dump valve on a diesel?

1. increases air into air box and makes a louder induction noise

2. its probably not a dump valve you can hear on a bus its more likely a safety valve on the air tanks for the brakes/suspension so the tanks dont blow up

GFB 50/50 Hybrd will give you a loud blow off valve sound as well as recirculating some of the gas to keep the ECU happy.

Same with the Turbosmart Dual Kompact valve. And it just so happens I have one for sale

put them on any car mate, people advise not to use them on our cars but ive had mine on for 30k miles at least with not one prob mate

Yup I havent known anyone to have a problem, guy at work has had one on his a4 1.8t for a long time now with no issues

I don't know how the SSQV differs to other atmos valves but it's supposed to be MAF meter friendly and like you lads say, anyone who uses on an engine that is sensitive (VAG, Mazda 3 MPS, EVO 8+) is very happy.

Honestly mate, you wont get a load whoosh from a vag engine unless you want to go into limp mode after.
The best way is to either mod your airbox or fit an open cone filter with a Forge 007

I do, I use a GFB 50/50 and never gone into limp mode, i also use an Apexi mushroom filter.

That's correct on that one, depending on the weight of the truck/bus, the air tank pressure is around 12 bar (imagine that amount of boost!)

I have had one of the valves fail on me and it doesn't half go with a bang!
