im not sure if i have asked this question b4 or not but is there any down side in performance if you dis connect the recirculating dump valve,

i do love the noise from the turbo wen its disconnected but dont wont to do it if it slows the car down or makes it loose any bhp/performance

Yes mate you really lose boost and power. I will be doing a blanking plate soon so you will be able to do it properly :wink:

That makes sense then as i fitted a DV i made up
and it has dropped by 0.2 BAR with the recirc disconnected
i spent hours looking for a bloody leaking hose!
:oops:

you get the turbo chatter noise or a chirpy bird noise as some call it.
I love the chirpy noise how can you get that without losing power.

also i heard a vid of a 20v 2.0 T turbo fiat coupe and it sounded like darth vada sucking a monster bong a real awesome noise (il try fin the vid) if i can get a sound like that il pee my pants

Blanking plate :D
so you cant just block of the nipple on the valve, it has to be removed completely. :?:

Needs to be done completely tbh mate.

Paul
ok, so thats a blanking plate and decat so far anything else lined up
I'll definately have one, you lose about 0.2 Bar with the re-circ valve disconnected
as i need another T piece to plumb in the DV, Boost gauge and RECIRC all at once!
phil
well wen the valve is blocked of you will only need one t piece, boost pipe dv and gauge,

honest mate it sound the tits wen its disconnected but like you and paul say you do some power, so bring on the blanking plate :D

oh and the decat.
I got a free T piece off Dave at K-tec so got the ricirc,DV and boost gauge all running sweet.
the power difference is very noticeable(back to normal anyway!)

Met up with Craigy225 aswell had a good natter (his car looks ten times better in the flesh!)
, we spoke with dave and they have big plans coming up so keep an eye out!

Got my free oil change aswell, dead chuffed!

phil :D
cheers phil for your comments glad ya got ya oil change, and was really nice to meet you at long last, like phil said had a good chat to david seem he got some plans for the meggy good job they not far from me so can keep up with the lastest product releases.

and hopefully when the rollers are in action we can have rolling road session (only if he gives me a good discount on a run :wink: )

keep up the good work david :D
wat sort of plans have they got up there sleeve then
