To get a dump valve or not?
« on: November 25, 2015, 10:35:06 am »
I have a 2005 mk5 gti and its completely standard. I want to look in to modifying it. Is a dump valve worth the money? If so which one do i go for? Eventually i think i want a decent intake, exhaust, intercooler, dump valve and remap. But i will have to do it bit by bit due to the money. Thanks in advance

In an word..... No. Not unless you want the sound !

You already have a dump valve, it's called a diverter valve. The only diff being it doesn't vent to atmosphere and make that fast and furious style woooosh noise. It recurcilates back to keep the turbo spinning. Save your money and do some other mods  :happy2:
