Ive looked through this forum and cant find the answer. Is there a guide to fitting a dump valve to a leon fr petrol 2008. I want something a little louder. Any recomendations?. Is there even one fitted as standard?. Thanx in advance.

Have a look at the Forge blow off valve, not a dump valve as such, but you dont want to 'dump' air as the turbo works with a recirculating vavle. And induction kit also gives a good sound.

hi,

i have an 06 leon fr, and have had a forge recirculating/atmospheric dump valve fitted. you can set it to either 100% atmospheric (loud), 100% recirculating (little noise) or 50% / 50% (in between) i had mine set at 100% atmospheric and it sounds cool. it came with instructions on how to fit it, but had mine put in for me as apparently its an arse to fit as its underneath the car as apposed to through the bonnet. had it fitted the same time as a re-map and a air filter. well worth the money!!!

Does adding this give an increase or decrease to performance. Also I take it this would void any warranty with the car.

The answer to your question is here http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=224458 in particular the postings by "beeko85"

Just note that the TFSi needs axle stands or a lift as the valve is located low down at the rear of the engine

I find it more useful searching the forum for answers before asking the same question again :rolleyes:
