RE: dump valves

whats a dump valve? are you talking about oversized valves(head) or a wastegate valve(turbo manifold)?

RE: dump valves

I think he's probably talking about a wastegate dump (considering this is in nitrous/turbo/sc), but that's just a guess

RE: dump valves

According to wikipedia, it's something similar to a BOV[&:] But, I think he might be refeering to a wastegate or a dump tube??

according to wiki it is used in older turbo charged cars.

you would be better off going with a BOV or wastegate valve

RE: dump valves

just wondering what car youre running (if it has a stock turbo) or if your car is boosted and whats your setup. OR are you someone who wants to "be cool" and get a bov for your N/A engine?
