Chav or Not

[fizzy_drink]

Dump valves that go "woosh" ?

 

[telford_mike]

hmmm, tricky one. If its on an old Saffy then fine. Volvo 360 turbo = chav.

 

[Cathro_16v]

IMO dump valves sound sweet as = not chav

 

[paddymph]

yup, theyre cool.

 

[unofficialPete]

[White16valver]

[fizzy_drink]

Compared to the ones that go "boing"???

Just joshin, I dont think theyre chav...

...Think I still prefer the sound of twin 40s tho...more manly imo

i reckon they sound wicked!
or you could get a recirculating d/valve, they make a slightly different noise to the usual tisshh.

dump valves are ok but the sound of a noisy wastegate chattering like on the 80s group b rally cars sounds way better

 

[Mondial172]

Or the ones on Uno Turbos that sound like rat farts!

shhhh

I didnt think recirculating d/vs made any noise, I had one on my old saab 9000 and it didnt sound beefy at all, thought it was a 2.0t?

Atmospheric d/vs sound well nice though, I think some people are linking the whoosh with the chavvish ford turbos

Depends on what car. Whether its atmospheric or recirculating makes no odds, thats down to what kind of boost sensing the car uses, not really a matter of choice.

As far as I see it, the rule is - If its actually quite fast, any dump valve is OK. If its not, e.g. as Mike said, a Volvo 360 turbo then its a big NO. And I have seen a white Volvo doing the rounds up and down my road with a dump valve, DIY-done crinkly limo tints and a Fido Dido graphic across the bonnet. That is just wrong.

 

[JillyB]

Chav maybe, but good chav!

 

[Weeman]

I like and I want, But it has to sound like a group B rally car, so needs to come equipped full of X-trac and Quiafe stuff, and the Turbo needs to Chirp really loud aswell.

Blasphemy I tell you - Sapph Cossie is the car that probably made DVs so popular. Def NOT a chav orientated car.

Before spending money on a dump valve and then a fitting kit, find out if your car can run on one.

If you have an airflow meter before the turbo it will cause problems just putting a dump valve on there.



Also - majorty of cars have a re-circ dumpvalve or else you get compressor stall and eventually a knackered turbo.
