[Mk2] [Turbo] How have you fitted your after market dump valve

[philmr2]

After having my hks bov sitting in my cupboard for the past 18 months I have decided to fit it to the car.
My issue is trying to locate the adaptor plate to mount it to the hot pipe, I'm thinking of buying a donor hot pipe and modify it to fit the universal adaptor the kit comes with.
Has any one else gone down this route or is their a more obvious answer.

You do know dump valves make rev 1 and 2 run badly?

[philmr2]

Yes I have heard this, is it idling issues they suffer from?

Dumping metered air, so can cause poor running and stalling issues. Best to stick to recirc on rev1/2 turbos.

I'm planning on a rev 3 head conversion next year so best wait until then

head conversion?

youll still be running an AFM unless you do the full rev3+ ecu conversion as well.

[philmr2]

Yes I'm aware of this already have parts stock piled for a later date

[jimGTS]

just checking

head conversion?

I assumed he wasn't just swapping the head, why would you just do that without the rest of the conversion inc AFM removal?
