hi there Was wondering where would sell a dump valve for my motor its a 2001 golf gti,preferably close to lisburn, belfast area any help is greatly appreciated Cheers
hi there we can get you these,bailey motorsport or forge motorsport dump valve for this car, give me a shout at procar 02890691099
cheers for the help,will call down tomorrow do you think you could have it by thursday or early friday if its ordered tomorrow Cheers
For what it's worth don't bother with an atmospheric valve stick to original spec recirculating otherwise your golf will go to limp mode. The forge recirc is excellent and their customer service is great , even to us away from the mainland.
afaik bailey do a recirculating/atmospharic valve, it only vents a little of the pressure to give yo the "pppssstttthhh" sound to stop it goiing into limp mode
by the sound of it you dont actually know what a dump valve does? do you have any reason for putting one in (e.g increased boost pressure over 1.1 bar?) or do you just want to sound like a big boy? Do you know whether or not your car can handle a VTA dump valve or does it need a recirculating one? does it need a twin piston or single?
Been waiting on a reply like this,lol. Personally i don't know what a dump valve does, have heard many times before, but as im no anorack it doesn't stick. Wouldn't be too hard to find out either, quick google give you all the answers you want. i know alot oif people are against them, but personally i love the whoosh of one. what wrong with wanting one. if you think it's stupid and give no results then that cool, I know stevie turbo will put up a good arguement that they are not required. each to their own when they modify their own car. No need to try be little someone. No different sticking a dump valve on, than changing a kit on a car. people modify cars to their own taste, what they like. He'll be driving teh car not you, so let him do what he likes.
The function of a dump valve is 2 fold, it is designed to protect the turbo vanes (fans) from shattering due to the stresses they can be put under when the pressure difference on each side is different. The other reason is to improve car performance, because these pressure differences can cause the turbo vanes (fans) to slow down or stop when you go back on-boost it takes more power to 'spin-up' the turbo. It takes less effort/power to increase the speed of something that is not stationary
or here is another explanation Dump valve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://www.dumpvalve.co.uk/
Good call lad Gotta luv Wikipedia I like the sound of them too Karlos, dunno what NP89's problem is with someone enquiring about a dump valve for their motor TBH
I love the sound of them. But theye are loads that don't. They are also loads of arguements Pro's and con's for them. I'm pretty sure Stevie turbo hates them,lol And pablo when he was working at one of his cars think the 205, only wanted a functioing one, not a nice noisey whooosh one.
Anytime I hear a dump valve I always have to creak my neck to see what it is. I like the sound of them too, would be one of the first things I'd do if I bought a turbo petrol car
i think they are rare as hector, and think its daft as fook hearing a car sneezing as it goes up the road....was the first thing i "dumped" on mine even worse when its on average road cars or diesels
The problem Crimson, is that dump valves are a functional item not a toy to put on as many "lads" seem to. Dump valves are required as a function of running increased boost pressure and can do more harm than good if not used correctly, my issue upon seeing this thread is that if the enquirer doesnt actually know where to get one it is more than likely he has no idea what their function is let alone how or why they work and also that they are not homogenous, different types of dump valves for the right engine and intake design hence my questioning of boost pressure and what type of valve he is after.
So, if I'm reading this right, because he doesn't know where to buy a product he doesn't know what it's for? Maybe the guy was after some feedback as to a reputable supplier, not to be talked down to....
Yea, ever so slightly patronising there NP89. Im sure if he goes somewhere reputable to buy it, they will advise him on which one is best for his car.
only thing I know is that my HKS SSQ was the best one I could find but I dont know if they done a VW fitament but they do offer a recirc kit which may be important on your car as it is possible that a tiny bit of over fuelling can occur if you dont fit a recirc as the recirc does return some air back in before the intake side of the turbo. Turbosmart are another good dump valve.
PRO CAR gets thumbs up for all his bits and pieces and prices are good too. i see sort of were np89 is coming from as there are a few asthmatic glanzas around my direction today but each to their own and maybe he has done a few mods we dont know about
Im not trying to be obstructive, im just trying to encourage him to think about what he is buying and why so that he doesn't become part of the grouping that are showing off and a repudiated for it hence others comments about diesels and ordinary road cars that do not require them.
I see where you're coming from, like yourself I wouldn't opt for a dump valve unless I would get a noticeble improvement in performance by installing one in the Golf - I heard stories of problems with various dump valves for my Golf and decided against it for this reason but I think the "just want to sound like a big boy" remark was a bit much lad, you've never met the guy and he could be simply looking at upgrades for his motor to get more enjoyment out of it
Ok, ill admit perhaps i was a little over assuming in my primary response to the thread so for that Stevie_1 apologies, didnt mean to be condescending or arrogant, was just simply trying to gauge what purpose you wanted it for hence all my direct questions. Again, sorry i can be a little gung ho at times, just trying to make you see all the angles.
