Took the new toy out for a spin tonight and it wasn't too enjoyable as the dump valve seems to open at 3500rpm which obviously takes me off boost and just keeps venting air, any suggestions??

take it out mate,mine used to do the same its the most annoying thing the car never seemed right so i took it out slapped a blanking plate on the turbo and not only did the car run better and smoother it sounds the dogs danglys ;) failing that you need a stiffer spring in the dump valve :)

Ok so if it piped in OK then something must have broken..??

Pipe snapped??

If it's a diaphragm one maybe it has popped...??

If its a piston one, maybe the spring has gone??
