|  Revo remap - Dump Valve Hi guys, I've had a Revo remap and want to know what the benefits are with changing the standard DV for better one, and if so which one would I go for and how much ££ am I looking at? Also, is it worth chanhging any other parts to get the most out of the remap without breaking into my overdraft too much!! Cheers, Gary. |

| Re: Revo remap - Dump Valve Only one benefit - noise! You'll see no noticable benefit in performance but you will get an audible 'phtsssshh' when you back off the loud pedal  Only two choices imho Forge or Bailey, both make a quality DV but Forge would be my personal preference, cost will be around the £90-£100 mark. If you hav'nt already done so, also consider changing the OEM panel filter to aq performance one from either K&N or Green Cotton, cost about £40.

| Re: Revo remap - Dump Valve I get an audible Psssshhhh now......could it be that there is already a different DV fitted then or would the standad DV make that noise? Reason i'm asking is because I bought the car off someone who had the Revo remap done so can't be 100% sure if the DV was changed when the remap was done.....and the guy I bought the car from didn't really have a clue what had been done anyway!! |

| Re: Revo remap - Dump Valve A quick look under the lid should show you. Forge and Bailey are normally shiny - OEM is black plastic.
