is it worth getting?? how much did you pay? does it make any noise? - like the noisy blow off valve version?

thanks in advance, matt

Hey matt,

YES!! It is worth getting as it is much much stronger than the original plastic bosch one.
It wont make a noise as this valve is a fully recirculating valve not and atmospheric one (which would make a tish noise)

If you want the noise then get a forge split r dump valve....but heard a few people have had problems with them

Hope this helps.

cheers buddy, yeh i was wondering on whether to get that one or not but might get fed up with vrooom tssshhh. lol

I run a 007p recirc valve and and jetex filter and it makes a nice noise, not as in your face as the usual 'dump valve noise'. Ive sure a few other people would vouch for this aswell! just my opinion though!

Yeah, actually cam is right matt, and i forgot to mention in my first post. If you have an open cone filter the dump valve will make a small noise but not over the top

Cam.....be a darling and post up a pic of your filter setup please mate

Im pondering getting one you see......did it make much difference? Did....or does it bog the car down at all?

Cheers mate.

coool. ive replaced the standard filter with a k and n panel replacement. have u got a vid of the noise :D

Alex will get a photo up later on today when i can, i cant really comment on weather i noticed a difference since i did it straight after the car was mapped, so felt totally different afterwards. But a cone filter would defiantly not have as many gains as what would be experienced from a panel filter, but saying that ive never had a problem. Was considering running a panel filter for a while see what i prefer!

No video of the noise sorry, someone else might?? or youtube is worth a try!

I've ordered one now . is it gonna be akward to fit with my strut brace?



ive circled what i think is the original ya?

its simple to fit only takes 5 mins! you shouldn't have a problem!

Yeh theres a heap of room mate, no worries about fitment at all!

sorted. done. love it . power feels alot smoother, and u can hear it abit sounds nice . lil bit less turbo lag. good buy
