Dump valve fitting
Turbo Mini Forums

I know that a dump valve can be drilled and fitted to plenum but can it also be fitted on one of the intercooler pipes? As I have brought an escort rs turbo series 2 intercooler and the hoses include a fitting for dump valve . Could I connect these hoses on and then join on to extended them to them plenum and t2 turbo I have or do I need to buy new hoses and et one of the alloy inline dump valve fittings . Sam

It can fit anywhere between the carb and turbo BUT is best fitted as close to the carb as possible.

Ok cheers for that you don't know by any chance the size hoses into the t2 turbo and the Metro plenum and do you need a reducer at all .

Metro plenum doesn't have a take off for a dump valve. Anyone who has one had had it custom made mate.

No sorry I'm after the size pipe in which goes onto the plenum for the intercooler and the size for t2 turbo . Cheers

Is yours a standard metro plenum? With the standard ones the inlet points straight down towards the turbo making it difficult to get to an intercooler.

I can measure the T2 I have for the inlet and outlet hose sizes though?

No the metro plenum has been modified for easy use of intercooler . And yes please if you wouldn't mind.

The sizes on mine are 60mm for the inlet and 53mm for the outlet. I don't know what the plenum size is though, so I don't know about reducers etc.

Ok cheers for that ordered all my piping just wondered what side the dump valve needs to be is it the cooled side going into plenum and have it close to the plenum on the hose .

going to have mine dump before the turbo inlet and relese pressure from right befor the carb in the alu pipe via weled on 1" pipe whole thing is in 1" ID should get the job done
