Dumpvalve????

Why dont you just record the best one you have heard and play it as loudly as you can through the Stereo?:lol:

I'll start the argument now, you should have bought the TDI!:hide:

heres his o-60 link
http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=106867
his videos have expired now unfortunatly but his sig has his current mods and he talks about his old mods in the link too. gazjones video is there tho his is an FR 20VT roughly the same output to what rash's was. that'll give you an idea what a CUPRA 180 with a good remap an viper induction kit was like. Rash will be on later after work i should imagine he might find the old vid for ya, the viper kit sounded mental

Many options now since Forge released the Split R Valve, a dump to recirculting valve but has enough dump to atmosphere to ensure that the ECU doesn't record a fault. I havn't heard this in person yet. But I've got a Forge 007 DV with an open cone filter (well Dynatwist with the heat shield removed) and bypassed the N247 Valve and it sound good (gets annoying though cause sound like i've got one of those speaker in my glove box that make a whhhoooossshhh noise). But if your running the standard 0.6 bar boost then the split R may sound weak?

Best people to ask about modding the 20vt within the MK4 secton is me, rashcupra and Gazjones. TDi's want to speak to Triple D (hes wreaked enought uprated turbos). We have pretty much the same setup but all have different remaps. Rashcupra is just head due to the fact he has uprated his suspension and wants to spend way to much for a small amout of BHP.

Next for me is binning of the cupra intake for a circular 70mm diameter intake so my tubing will fit directly to the bumper instead of the orginal pipe. (like a square peg into a round hole).

Theres my 50p worth.

As said by Davels cheaper to run and still fun:D

I can leave most things (on my private road) standing and still get 36mpg whilst doing it:roflmao:

As for the dump valves, I can never get the image of 1litre novas driving down the road going Psssssssttt. out of my head :blink:

Good luck with your new car.:D

its sad how the Mk4 20vt pioneers get forgotten over time.........:cry:

Personally just stick to the Forge 007 re-circ valve. its of a high quality and unfortunately the only way you will ever get some noise out of em is to remap and fit a large open-to-air air filter. You may need a slightly harder spring for the valve once mapped, i ran a blue spring on mine once set up properly. Airfilters, i tried a few, settled on the modded air box in the end with a green panel filter for best performance. But the XXL Dynatwist ran without a cover sounded the best.

hello rob cupra great buy with the cupra 1.8t easly the best choice ;)

with regaurd to your dumpvalve ere is my video with my baileys dumpvalve and viper on it when i first got the car.

http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b9/rover25/videos/?action=view&current=0_60_5sec_0_100_13.flv

but after countless times the engine management light come on! after a few months i got sick of the sound and changed it for a forge recirculating valve and modded my standard airbox and got a green panel filter with enlarged air intake for the standard look and the forge gives a taste ful (not fake) dump noise and also performs better too!

ive got a viper induction kit for sale for the mk4 ibiza cupra 1.8 20vt with silicone hose if your interested? sounds nice and growly! :cheeky:

if you want the loud whoosh noise baileys dumpvalve is the kit for you but it isnt good for the 1.8t engine really as after time can damage engine if i was you id replace the boosh r.v

i think in that video my car sounded realy fake :shrug:

if you want a remap id go for the 007 forge recirculating valve to as the remap will blow the boosh r.v to bits!

when i had the viper induction kit it sounded realy growley and sporty

but for exhausts miltek is your answer!! il get some sound clips up when ive got my uprated turbo and engine sorted 310bhp should sound ace!

no need for a new clutch on the petrol mate not with just a remap, zorst etc gazjones is running near 230bhp on standard FR clutch with minimal slippage i beleive. clutch is only an issue with TDi's because of the low end torque spike you get on most derv remaps, but it does depend on wether or not your clutch is healthy in the first place. if it's on it way out anyway more torque and power through it will just speed up the process but it's unlikely :D
