Hi Folks,

I've just seen this Turbosmart Dump Valve on Demon Tweeks:

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=ROAD&pcode=AETFG-BOV-003MS

I'll need to get hold of a fitting kit, which one would I need to install this DV to my 1996 850 T5R?

Also would I need to buy a blanking plate in addition as well?

Any help/advice is greatly apprecieted.

bailey do a fitting kit fot the t5, you may need to find the diameter of the fitting pipe as it may be a different size, most are 25 to 30mm i think, tweekies sell them also.

That is a VERY big Blow Off Valve (BOV)/Dump Valve, much bigger than the picture makes it look since there isn't a scale... Ask me how I know, please :)

Great pic of the turbosmart! gives a better indication of size.

Engine bay looks bloody aggresive too!

I've only started to put my 850 T5R Estate under the knife and it'll take me a while and a few £££ to look like yours!!

Your's is a great example to work towards though!

I have owned this one for a bit over a year, put ~$7,500 (~£4,000) into it, a bit of labor, but I think that it's been worth it. I'm almost done with it, and next will be another car to sink more money into, might be a "stock" looking 855 turbo, but have it completely race ready and almost not street legal, BUT still legal :) It's great what being young with a full-time job can do for a car when you don't have other expenses to worry about.
