Just a couple of questions:
1) What is the benefit?
2) Is it noticeable?
3) Can you get mild sounding ones?
4) Are they easy to fit?
5) How much do they cost?

This subject has been covered at length so you might want to do a search for some of the previous threads. The T5 already has a DV albeit a recirculating one and so there will be no performance benefit (possibly a loss in actual fact)

You may need one if you boost over 18-19psi,mine on a 16t struggles to dump enough air if i short shift at 5000rpm i can hear a tiny amount of compressor stall.The only advantage i can see of installing one is the noise and the fact that it can take more abuse than the std unit.If you car is just chipped etc i would save you money.
I agree save your money and spend it somewhere else on the car
Na get a bigger/Hybrid Turbo and do away with the dump valve altogether.

Not yet they havn't!!!!!.....hehe
Sorry for the silly question, but what is a hybrid turbo?
I will then, just wondered..........Originally Posted by vikingt5
don't particularly want the sound, just wondered if it made any noticeable difference.
Now I know.................Thanks

Basically a turbo made out of various parts, like bigger housing with small internals or regular turbo with different manifold etcOriginally Posted by neevo

I always thought that the turbo makers would build it the most efficient way to start with, but I suppose in this day and age accountants over-rule engineers
Most importantly though is the power gain and the rather interesting soundOriginally Posted by pzorb
I must record how mine sounds when i get it back then youcan all hear that wonderful sound of the air passing back over the turbine blades.
Its been in the car for nearly a year now with no problems. Still have 1 year warrenty left.
Hmmm...why would i want to fit a dump valve when the supplier of the Turbo states that one is not required?
