i wish to fit a dump valve to the turbo(petrol) i can only find a bailey single piston, what other makes/types can i fit as i dont really get it

i have seen another brand of single piston for cheaper will this work? does it allways have to be single piston?

any help would be super, cheers all have a good xmas

im thinking about doing this to my SRi model but unsure which one to get, dont really want to use ebay on this one

car specs are in sig

The only benefit to fitting a dump-valve on a diesel is the "tshhhhhhhhhhh" noise, there's no perfromance benefit at all. As mentioned a few posts up, to make one work on a diesel you need to fit a few extra bits to it as it is controlled by electronics mostly. The way it works on a petrol engine, is that when the butterfly valve in the throttle body closes it vents the excess boost out of the dump-valve so the turbo doesn't stall, and there are two types of valve, re-circulating or atmospheric, re-circulating vents back into the airbox, atmospheric vents directly out the top of the valve into, yep you guessed it...............the atmosphere There's no butterfly on a diesel hense the need for an electronic gizmo to open it when the throttle is closed, it involves a switch or two and a little wiring but it's fairly easy to do.
