finally fitted my induction cone, not impressed

**no1tosh** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 19:43

i managed to nab an old intercooler pipe from an xc60 we've had in work, so straight home and fitted my pipercross.
i took it out and all i can here is a plasticy sigh when i let off the throttle. No induction noise, no wastegate chatter, just what sounds like the turbo pushing air back through to the cone when i let off and he rest of the time like i still have the airbox on!!!!

have you fitted the blanking plate on the turbo?

**no1tosh** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 19:52

ya mate, there's a forge one fitted because of the dump valve.

**T5frankie** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 19:55

how much boost you running?

**no1tosh** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 19:59

0.75 bar on a bleed valve, baileys dump valve and forge blanking plate.

Have you taken the insulation off under the bonnet?

**no1tosh** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 20:15

not yet, although it did cross my mind

**merc85** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 20:27

ditch the bailey DV, there pony, wouldnt surprise me if its faulty

**no1tosh** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 20:30

problem is, the car came with it and i have no recirclation valve to refit. or is there another way?

**merc85** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 20:32

yeah run without it, i have been for two years never had a problem

**claymore** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 20:33

Just run without a recirc valve

**no1tosh** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 20:33

can i just ask if you have no dump valve and no recirclation then where does the spare boost go?? and what effect does it have???

cheers

**claymore** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 20:34

the effect is what you are looking for.

**no1tosh** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 20:40

cool ok, so no lack of performance then?

so i just pull the vac pipe off, block or leave open?

so does anyone have the plastic pipe from the top of the intercooler to the throttle body. the last owner has cut it in half to install the dump valve

**claymore** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 20:44

No, you can't just pull the vac pipe off, because it's a boost pipe as well, it keeps the dump valve closed under boost.

Block it off with a bolt or similar jubilee clipped. Mine chatters with standard air box & no DV.

**M-R-P** · Tuesday 25th June 2013, 21:14

I've seen the dv removed and the head of a hammer jubilee clipped in its place lol.
