Re: Standard Dump Valve dumping off boost???

As well as being a recirc valve, the valve will bypass the turbo to an extent when off boost- this helps fuel consumption by making it easier for the engine to draw air in without having to deal with the restriction of the unspinning turbo blades.


ahh, yes
now i understand

cheers guys

Re: Can you de-cat on a standard exhaust?

is gutting the cat an option?
or should this be avoided?
will the MOT be affected on a 1994 rev 3 turbo?
is there any adverse affects of gutting/decating? (eg fuelling etc)

thanks

ECU is located in the rear boot, behind the boot carpet on the engine wall. to the left side you will have to take out the plastic rivets/clips on that side of the carpet , just take a small screwdriver and push the centres in alittle and the clips will release and pull the clip out. then pull the c...
