Does anyone in here have a dumpvalve ? Does it improve anything ?

You mean a vent to atmosphere one I assume.
Unless you've got a massive turbo the standard DV can't support, there is zero gain. In some cases they can actually make things worse.

Unless mapped accordingly the ECU is expecting that air to be in the intake system so the AFR will be too rich with a dump valve. Much better to just upgrade to a GFB DV+ and never worry about it anymore.

I remember from 1.8T days, those dump to atmosphere Forge DVs. A lovely cloud of black fuel smoke with every gear change :grin: They revised it to a half dump, half recirculate valve after that!
