I am well up for putting a dump valve on my metro but how i do it is still a bit of a mystery.

is it a case of modifying the plenum chamber on the sloped side to acomodate the dump valve and hose.

please help!!

Avonbar sell the modified plenums for dumpvalve fitment, they are an exchange item, check out their website.

The main hose on the dump valve obviously goes on that adapted plenum hose, where does the hose go from the top of the dump valve? is this actually needed.

Just noticed in the pictures posted by Giallofly and Lil Stu that the take off for the dump valve is positioned right at the bottom of the slope on the plenum, whilst the one Avonbar sell has the dump valve take off halfway up the slope.

See Pic:

Now I was wandering if this makes any difference? The reason I ask is that I should be getting my Plenum back today with the dump valve take of welded half way up the slope, avonbar style, and I don't want to have to go back to my welder and ask him to do a second one for me.

The nearer to the throttle butterfly the dump valve is fitted ,the better it is mean't to work.

A plain throttle disc is better too
