Anybody fitted dump valves to their Z? Are they worth it? I was considering fitting some to protect the turbos from stalling and hopefully prolong their lives... then of course there's the sound they make but that is (honestly) a secondary consideration. Any suggestions on the best make to go for?

Cheers,

If the big kid in you loves to pssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhttttttttttt they yeh go for it :D

 

Seriously though if your stock valves are goosed like most are they are a worthwhile upgrade, i can supply you with many different brands, give me a shout :)

... protect the turbos from stalling and hopefully prolong their lives...

not a problem as the 300 has recircs fitted as standard

fitte bailey valves a little while back, look shiny and pretty, and make a nice tiiiiissssshhhhh!!! took bout an hour for me to fit - so about half hour for anyone else. dont know if theyv done any practical use but im well happy with em.

Installed the bailey valves myself, only reason was to get rid of the goosehonk my re-circs were making. Driving an Auto you very rarely hear the PSSSHHHTT anyway, unless you do it on purpose LOL

HKS Super Seq on mine. Got them at a good price and wasn't sure about fitting them, but love scaring old grannies and impressing small children with them now.

Hi everyone. Thanks, I didn't know that about the recirc valves. I'm hoping mine are OK since I've only just bought the thing but I've no idea really not even knowing it had them until a couple of minutes ago. If they're knackered I'll definitely give you a shout Chris. When the turbos do eventually die I'll replace them with something bigger / better though... 'course I might get bored before that in any case. ;-)

Cheers,

Bart

I can certainly confirm that bigger turbos and a boost controller worked for me as a first class reliever of boredom! :dance:

I recently bought and fitted a set of Apexi BOVS. Bit of a pain to fit (I think because it was a UK car), but very pleased with the results :cool: Now find myself driving with the window slightly down and changing gear when passing kids at bus stops :slap:

Have adjustable Blitz BOVs on mine and they are SOOOOO loud when they are fully open :dance:
