I heard a story from a guy on the W2L in Jan this year that he'd been out in this car he said it was very quick and there's something not normal about the gear ratio as even when its going quickly to over take Mr BenRoss still can drop it into 2nd.. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

why is there two dumpvalves? Why not? lol First of all, it should read:"why ARE there two dump valves". Second: Why are they BOTH fitted AFTER the intercooler? I fyou need two, it would make more sense to fit them before the intercooler. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Looks like Jimster got the Old Post JCB out. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

You can use a DV as boost control as well. Blead off air from the pressure port so that the valve lifts under boost, bleading off the excess boost. I thought you would have known that

Why cool down air you are dumping? ah right, so theres not real benift from having it before the cooler, just process waste type preference. (the process being cooling the air) wouldnt throttle respose be better with the DV closer to the throttle body though? To be honest i think this is all irrelatice as its going to be un-noticeable.....? the little amount of extra throttle response or the little amount of extra air in a cold charge, blah blah |

If you dump cool air you can dump more faster? What kind of bullshit is that? It's the volume of air you're dumping, not a given mass. Even so, does it matter? It's dumped anyway...
