Where to fit dump valve??
Turbo Mini Forums

Right now i know alot of people say fit dump valves as close to the carb as possible, but in doing this surely u are releasing all the pressure in the boost hoses so when a gear change is made the turbo has to fill them up again!! Would it not be better to fit it close to the turbo so when u back off, the turbo is free to spin as it wants and u leave some pressure in the intercooler/boost hoses?? (p.s Hope this makes sence)

nope...

dump valves have nothing to do with keeping up the boost while you change gear... quite the oppsite happens!

Will probably run it off the plenum like most do then, to be honest the only reason why im fitting one is because its a mini and want to let people know its a turbo If they did'nt make any noise i would'nt bother as they only help on cars with massive turbos running big boost!

what kind of boost do you need to run to get the wastegate chatter?

I suppose it the old "I wanna be a bus driver" bit in me that I have had since being a kid !

TO be honest I think it could pretty much piss me of in time ...

TRying to sneak around in the early hours of the morning doing things that I should not be doing will be impossible now !!!

Alex but on mini you don't get much "turbo chatter" as you put it, I've tryed on mine and you can't hear it from out side the car.

I know but do you know what the chatter sound is??

Or T3 you could put it in your tail pipe as that will be under pressure at full bore!
