Dump Valves & Fitting kits
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fit a dump valve to my non-turbo car?
No. A dump valve is designed as a pressure release valve ONLY for cars with turbochargers.
Can I fit a dump valve to my turbo diesel?
Diesels engines do not produce vacuum, so a conventional dump valve set up with a simple fitting kit is not possible. Some companies have developed ways into ‘tricking’ the valve to open with electronics or vacuum canisters, but we do not produce any fitting kits for diesel vehicles. We cannot give any technical advice on Diesel installations.
Will my car require ‘Setting-up’ after installing a dump valve?
No. All our valves are designed as ‘Fit and Forget’ items and can cope with most tuning modifications or increased boost levels.
How Loud are Dump Valves?
This depends on many variables, such as : Tuning modifications, timing alterations, general engine condition, boost levels and much more may affect the sound (loudness and pitch) of a dump valve. A race car running high boost on a large turbo will produce a massive rush of air (dump), but a standard production vehicle running light boost may produce a less powerful, but still audible ‘Tsschh!’. |
