Forge Dump Valve

ns_sullivan · 09-05-2008, 07:11

Can anyone tell me if it is worth having a Forge dump valve fitted to the VRS or not.
Sounds a good idea, litterally but not sure if it will benefit at all.
will it only benefit after a remap to save the turbo if you have a decat downpipe.
Not sure myself, so thought I would ask...

bobjim · 09-05-2008, 07:55

no no no to dump valves, pointless

ns_sullivan · 09-05-2008, 08:34

thats what I thought, but just wanted hear this from another source...

Jonny5ive · 09-05-2008, 08:39

and I believe that they don't make (a real) one for the Diesel Fabia

/\ To summarise, you've already got one; it's called a waste gate. If you want your car to sound like a bus, buy a DV. It will make your car go tshhhhhhhhhhhh when you take your foot off the accelerator, but since a diesel doesn't have a throttle to protect, it won't bring you any benefit whatsoever. Like the strut brace, save your pennies and put them towards your custom remap.

I've got one fitted, I got it for a steal from a fellow member so thought why not give it a go! It sounds cool, but to be honest I have noticed a 'very' slight loss of performance, my car feels not quite as sharp as it did. Noise wise it does sound cool, it's quite a quick tsssh noise not mega loud and chavy. As it's Forge, it fits like a glove, but I may be tempted to sell if I get enough interest, as it's a been there got the t-shirt situation....

Callum,
Why would you want to keep something on the car that has an effect on it's performance ?

Hence why I'm asking if anyone wants to buy it!

TBH the performance difference is very very slight, it may even be my imagination, but as I mentioned I got it cheap and they are £350 new, so I thought what the hell, I can always sell it on and make money, as somebody always wants one, there's enough questions about them!

How much you wanting for it???

Callum · 09-05-2008, 16:51

I'm open to offers, I'm not mega fussed about selling, but if someone offers me a good price then I'll sell! They are £350 new so get bidding!

djswivel · 09-05-2008, 16:58

If you're gonna sell, you'll have to join freedom. It's only £12.

so whats the end result here then, some say YES some say NO. I know it will sound good but I am thinking that is al I will get out of it. But once the car is remapped and with all my other items on it will the DV make a difference then?

Johnny50 · 29-05-2008, 11:03

It will make no difference at all.
There's another thread running about this on a diesel at the moment.

And the general opinon is they dont even sound good either.
