Noticed a few people on here (Robdon etc) have their forge dump valve relocated to the front of the engine bay on a long silicon hose. What's the reason for this and can you buy a specific kit do to it.
thanks

Keeps the DV cool, but mainly it means that it's cooler air that's been through the intercoolers that's re-introduced into the turbo on gear changes, rather than hot air.
Yes you can get specific kits - forge do one, so you could try forge or westec...
P.S. I'm in Kirkby - I'll keep my eye open for you!

nice one mate thanx for the explanation. I'll take a look and see if I can find a kit and see if the ££ is worth the investment.
What do you drive??

i read a slightly different reason in a turbo book. to dump straight after the turbo reverses the air flow through the complete system, even if only for a fraction of a second. the optimum place is 6 inchs before the throttle bady as even when the car dumps, the overall flow is still going in the same general direction, so no momentum is lost in the air particles.
thanx for the links and info, looks like a worthwhile mod then. I'll have to cut up my nice Samco intercooler hose though 
IMO its not really worth buyin the kit retailing at 100 notes. Might as well do it yourself, its not difficult.
