Does the leon fr come with a dump valve?

Hi,

I have had my new FR for a couple of weeks and had a question....Is it supposed to have a dump value, only I drove a new golf GTI (Same engine) an as you lifted of the accelerator after booting it you got the momentary hiss as you would expect.

My leon just after you lift gives a slight boom (If the rev drop quite low) and the power stays on as if there is quite a lot of inertia in the engine, not so easy to time your downshifts.

Also anyone got a power & torque curve for the standard engine?

Good laugh though....

these cars (golf gti etc) with the 2.0TFSI. dont have a dump valve, but a diverter valve, basically an electornically controlled solenoid valve which lets air in out out of the turbo.
To get the whossy sound i have fitted an induction kit, very nice sound now

I did notice this on the one I test drove, nothing too obvious but there is a little noise there - will be normal.
