As long as you`ve removed the recir valve from the side of the turbo the BOV should work

What's the benefit of doing that.. I actually quite like the sound you get from the air filter!

God, I'm agreeing with James again....lol

, I much prefer the sound of the flutter to the chav valve.

I'm surprised nobody has asked which car this is going on...

If it's ME7 then a DV is obviously a no-no

Why is that

**M-R-P** · Tuesday 28th May 2013, 13:19

ME7 (fly-by-wire) engines measure the amount of ain in the system at a given time, if you vent to atmosphere it thinks there's a big boost leak and throws a hissy-fit.

What car are you hoping to fit the DV to mate?

Cool, it'll be interesting to see how it goes (not expecting a performance gain, just to see what the ME7 strop-o-matic makes of things

)

From my experience - I found that the ME7 will struggle to idle properly if you vent to air, namely stalling at traffic lights - hesitation on reapplication of a trailing throttle. At WOT moving up the gears - I don't think you'll notice that much.

hence this is why I have to use the TIAL QR dump valve on my GTX (Garrett doesn't come with a recirc valve fitted).

You may not even throw any codes up.

If you want to fit a TIAL QR I have the 3 inch pipe with recirc adaptor already to go.

just went on a quick blast around the block and it makes a funny sound I think its turbo surge as it sounds like this

how much is that going for

That vid sounds like the D/V isn't working and you're just getting turbo chatter from the lack of pressure release. The DV spring could be too tight and not allowing the vacuum to open the valve.

What have you plumbed the small pipe from the DV into?

The LPT engine only runs low boost (4-6psi iirc) so could struggle with a DV if not set properly.
