KTEC Dump Valve V HKS SSQV

Which is better?

They are both similarly priced. The reason why I am doing this is because my TCE is leaking air on acceleration with a loud HISS from the engine bay. Also replacing the filter with a KTEC panel filter and an exhaust system with a LongLife Twin tip Catback system.

Find where the leak is coming from first? I'd get a recirc valve like a forge 007.

Find out from where its leaking rather than throwing money at unwanted parts?

^^^^ Exactly. Bung the standard valve off so it's not used then go for a drive to see if it is still leaking. If the noise is still there then you know the valve isn't at fault, if the noise isn't there then fit yourself a chav valve.

I'll check it tomorrow lads shat weather at the moment don't fancy standing out in the rain.

Also, would it be better to get a recirc valve rather than atmospheric? Will the recirc valve stall the turbo? How does it work exactly?

 

[WilkyWay]

Recirc valves are no better or worse for the turbo than VTA (atmospheric) valves, but VTA's can effect the drivability of the car when pushing on. With a recirc the dumped air is forced back into the intake and not wasted like it is with a VTA.


If you like the noise then fit a noisey one, in any other case fit a recirc IMO.
