"You are bidding for an SU HIF44 carb and plenum chamber from an MG Metro Turbo, both are in very good condition, however the dump valve piston is missing in the plenum chamber but the carb is excellent"
How serious / hard to replace is the missing piston? is it worth buying?

The standard plenum has no dump valve.

I guess what the he means is the pressure release or over boost valve.

Most people block these up, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Nope, it definately says in the plenum chamber, cant see him getting it mixed up with the dashpot, although stranger things have happened *happy*

i think its off this item:

i think hes referring to the 'thing' that keeps the dashpot piston damper from popping out during boost.
