Yeah I dislike the dumpvalve sound now completely - when I had the R5 15-16 years ago, 30psi through a forge dumpvalve was all I lived for
But tbh it's got really tiring and too chav for me. I recirc now and wish I didn't have to run one at all, but with such a large intercooler and high boost it's a necessary evil else the turbo would be stalled the whole time.
Car's doing well thanks - we've had a lot of grief with that bloody valve and the knock-on effects of it. Head's been off twice since then to try and rectify a problem with the valve seat we thought we had fixed. Bloody thing. Mapping is on Friday where we should see a reasonable gain in power as we're not binding the valve springs this time...
