Hi everyone"Old Git" here ,new member ianj South Wales. Probably a very silly question but here goes!! I have a 1993 Jap auto TT. I have read about blow off valves,1/ Do I need one on an auto?? I am not concerned about the noise they make but would they help in keeping the turbos in good nick etc. Any feedback gratefully received.

Hi bud, welcome to the club :)

You don't need dump valves as these cars are fitted with re-circulating valves as standard, which put the air back into the car instead of releasing it into the atmosphere which is why you get the pssst noise.

I am actually going to bin my leaky dump valves next week and put my re-circs back on.

yeah they are just added for sound i think, not a necessity and from what i can gather noise aside no point fitting aftermarket

Hello 'Old Git' another one here!!-forget the BOV's- if you want the tubs to last do regular oil/filter changes with good quality oil,will do more good than dump valves ever will! ;)

You don't need one at all as they don't do anything other than make a sound like a HGV airbrake release.

yeah but what a sound lol

Well that`s sorted then, Thanks to all of you who responded,I can spend my money on the next oil change,as soon as I`ve worked out the appropriate oil grade(more homework)

Spending you money wisely then. :)

Best advice on BOVs here http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnetfaq/FAQpages/bov.html confirms what's said above. OEM recircs as fitted actually give better performance for all except the most lairy and extreme of Zeds (~600bhp?).

 

Or you could follow the J Carrott example of going Pt-tschhh a lot :rofl:

Pt-tschhh

 

 

:rofl:

 

Ivor is more apt. He has twin Blow off valves...did nothing for his performance or credibilty either! :rofl:

 

 

 

:wack:

no need for shit valves, sounds better with no recirculation, however bad for turbos that way

Dump Valves.

 

Answers in the name.

 

Dump=sheet. aka load of crap. aka chavtastic. aka wast of money. aka pathetic idea.

 

and if you fitted the bloody things, why on earth would you make the car perform less on purpose ffs.
