Yeah... they will work on all engines...



I took mine off, as they get to be really annoying <img src= "smileys/smiley3.gif">



Most leak boost under slight acceeleration too, which is very annoying on the motorway..

I was under the impression that a piston type dump valve would increase lag on a T2 sized turb. Could be wrong though.

How would it increase lag??



Piston type dump valves do tend to be more sensitive and would leak boost on very light acceleration... however if you were to nail the throttle the DV would stay shut.

To be honest I am not completely sure, but I have seen it stated on the Forge website, I have looked but I can't see it on there any more. I am sure Bailey say it too.

Wastegates sound a lot more Rally-esque which is great to listen to. Love the sound on some of the videos of Simo's car.

My DV sticks some times aswell, sticks open so I have to copper grease it every month..



More hassle than they are worth.
