The Split-R is an adjustable dump valve, you turn the top to apply/release the pressusre on the spring inside so it will hold more or less boost, problem is the adjustable bit has about 50+ positions end to end, so unless you have an F1 team in your garage or you know your ****, its pretty hard to get perfect

007p is just different coloured springs for different boost pressures (Stock, Stage 1, Stage 2 etc.), much easier! :D

My 007p sound is not far off the Split-R I have because I have an open cone filter, the "ttssshhhhhh" sound can be heared from the cone filter on the 007p whereas the Split-R had a little horn and could be heared out my filter also


You can do it with the stock dump valve, open up your airbox lid and rev the engine, you will hear the "ttssshhhhhh" from your filter box, obviously quiter than a 007p though :)
Thanks for that, So there would still be a little blow off if ran with standard air box and no cone filter?

The blow off happens, you just wont hear anything
