and what would be the pro's and con's? would it do any damage and would it sound good?

Yes you can but you will only hear anything when you come off the gas not during gear changes so not really worth it imho

You already have a dump valve - all t5s do. If you want an atmospheric dump valve then you will need to blank of the existing one. I believe the weapon of choice would be a bailey twin (I dunno as I don't like them).

They sound a bit cheap to me - but don't take my word for it. Ask Frankie

LOL

New engine is nearly finished - K1 tech rods, Wiseco pistons, possible GTX series garrett - tubular manifold (possibly). Bring it! LOL

Sorry we appear to have gone somewhat off topic.

Apologies to iancho.

No worries Dave, Thanks to you and James for your input and to Frank for the humor, kinda wished i'd bought a manual now... so not really worth doing then... Good advice, thanks guys.

its ok, much better with a manual car though as can get it to dump every half a second lol but if u wanna dump valve then get one but remember you will need to be driving the car hard to hear it as more revs equals more boost and more noise
