Ive been looking into doing this, is it as bad for the turbo as some claim?? ive read it can destroy turbos in as little as a week, could that well be the case??

the volvo turbos don't generate enough boost for it to be a problem. I use a garrett GT28 and supercharger without a dump valve.

EDIT: Blimy james, you managed to type quicker than me.

Makes a better noise than a dump valve for starters
