[Ex volvo man]

i want to fit a dump valve and was wondering which dump valve for pd130 to go for ?

First of all why do you want to fit a dump valve to a TDi? Is it for the sound or for performance? If its performance then don't bother because it will have an adverse effect on your performance. If its for sound you can achieve a reasonable effect with an electronic dump valve but this will cost you up to ?300. Its not something that's really worthwile imo but depends on whether you have money to burn or not. Do a search and you'll find some information in this forum.

As far as I know, you cant have dump valves on diesels can you?

[craigGSI]

there s a guy up here has fitted a DV to his bora TDI and said it made a difference

its WEELOONS friend

I think... its a burn of $$$

but here in Portugal.. they sell "bonalume" DV.. for TDI

I think its Italian.

when.. I still have my VNT17 ... and I toke off the last muffler of my PD150.

it sounds like I had a DV.

in interior of Parking lots... it was "scary"...

pffffiuuuuuuuuuu ehehehehehehehhe

now with VNT20.. no more pfffffiuuuuuuuuuuuuu... at last no more cops looking strange to my ride.

cheers,

Nowt!

Exactly!

So what's the point?

Just because it makes a "cool" sound is a pretty dumb reason to spend money on something that does nothing for the cars performance, bit like cat back exhausts really......

Contoversial moi?[]

 

[Mike-P]

Its' all a bit bling really.

Shouldn't this be in the styling forum rather than tuning.....

 

[NikB]

Lol, possibly.

 

[Mike-P]

Bring on the healthy debate, I've just run away from one about RRs!

There is no debate, its about whether you want the noise or not.... ppl's opinions are bound to differ. It cant be a waste of money for those wanting the noise. You get practically nothing from a cat back or exposed Filter etc, but ppl will gladly pay ?200 + for them.

TBH i think that if the noise is fairly subtle ill defo be buying one, as its one way to reduce the 'dervness' of the car lol.

Each to their own []

 

[Mike-P]

I'll start calling you Tim Bling Sims! LOL

 

[Tim Sims]

I'll be getting a nice shiney one too []

Ex Volvo man - your car doesn't need a dump valve or a diverter valve. The vanes on the variable geometry turbo limits boost.
