Recirculating Valve (can it be removed)???

Post by Martin24uk »

Was just wondering if the recirculating valve on the inlet can be removed?
as i have got it remaped and have had no sound for my money :cry:
just when i had my rs turbo, i had a baileys dump valve on it so you could hear it
was a turbo a mile away!!! :lol:

dont do it it causes problems if you want a dump sound get a cone filter and remove the sound proofing under the bonnet and if you are chipped you will hear a nice whoosh! You cant use a fully atmosphere dump valve on this engine fooks up the ecu! I tried it LOL

so i now have a closed BMC one.
