Ive been reading all the posts i can find. My mini will be running 7psi all the time on the mbc, at least until i lower the compression on it.

I hear of problems that people are having wiht the baily piston type (b12 is one of them) and one thing i really dont want what im trying to avoid is unreliability this year. However, i want one that i will be able to use when i up the boost later on in the year. Should i just get a bailys piston one? Are the diaphram ones really that bad?

Nothing wrong with the diaphragm dump valves at all. If you find the standard diaphragm splits just upgrade it to the Kevlar type.

Feebs ...
My baily Dump Valve is working a charm now ....

It is very loud; and if you back off the revs you can get it to make a contsant sound like air coming out of a balloon


I love it ...

but will probably hate it after a while
