Before I begin I fully appreciate that most people on this site are using 172/182's or 197/200's which of course aren't turbo charged and the few that are, are probably running such high boost this may not affect them but bear with me
So I've fitted a forge dump valve to my 1.2 TCE and it sounds great, it did throw on a cat light which was cleared by a code, but I feel it's down on power? My turbo gauge shows 7psi and creeps slightly at 8psi which is more then what I thought these run at standard ? But it just feels that little bit slower, was thinking of putting the standard one back on to see if I noticed a difference or if it was just a placebo effect. I've had a read online and loads of people with different cars do say the same thing, after fitting a bov its down on power. All fixtures are cable tied down so no issues there. And the gauge reads 7-8 psi so it looks like there's no boost issues?
I've now got it on 50/50 for dump to atmosphere and recirculation. I also have an open Ramair air filter, which people say cone filters can leak boost because they can hear a " honking " noise? I just assumed that was the noise of the air filter doing its job, which I like.
Any help would be great!
