I think Forge Motorsport have recently launched one. There was a recent thread. Costs about ?300 I think, which seems like a waste of ?300 better spent on performance mods rather than just a noise.
Hi there, i have a 110 TDI and have had a dump valve fitted to it... been in there for the past 4 months... the loudness depends on how much pressure is built up with respect to time... for example... if i put my foot fully down for about 3/4secs... and then let go... the sound VERY VERY noticible.... however, if you let the pressure build up slowly then the result isnt that impresive...bottom line is if you want to turn heads you deffienatly can!... hope this helps

I thought the benefit of a dump valve was to do with keeping the turbo spinning at lower revs or is that all hearsay..or is it that only petrol cars benefit from this mod....

DV on a diesel , are you crazy ? The biggest waste of money ever , you may as well pee your money against the wall it`ll be more fun.There`s totally no need for a DV on a diesel as there is no throttle valve that closes in the inlet tract when you lift off the gas and so no back pressure to release but hey if you like the harsh sound of diesel induction roar then that`s your choice.

It really is a personal thing , if you want the noise fit one if you dont ............dont .........there is really no need to change the wheels on you car as the ones that come from the factory do the job , but still................!!!!!!!!

If you dont like the valve you dont have to buy it , as this is forum and we are paying advertisers , I am just letting the good members know what we have
Nobody ever said it was part of a tuning modification. Its on the market for people that want to buy it...it doesn't pretend to make a car faster, handle better or improve ride. Those people that buy it know this. I'm not arguing the merits of fitting one but equally I'm not knocking those that do fit one.
