hello all!
I'm new to having a Seat, just got a 2001 cupra 20V T and love it.
I didn't know where to post this so apologies if its wrong, But I'm looking for
a Blow Of Valve as i'm not a fan of the 'hisss' of dump valves and I'm struggling to
find one.
Any
help greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance!
blimey, there is sooo much info on this forum regards dvs, if you had asked for a whooshy dump valve you would really get the piss taken out of you, but to your credit (although i had to look hard) you are at least asking the opposite in that you dont want a whooshy dump valve.
Firstly it doesnt appear you really know what you want, as a blow off valve is usually taken as a dump valve that dump air externally and therefore makes the hiss noice that you do not want.
DVs are effectively diverter valves, and can do this internally (quieter) or they can divert the air externally which is commonly refered to as a dumpy valve. (most people just call then all dump valves)
The 1.8T engine as standard has a valve that does not dump the air externally, but rather diverts it internally back into the intake system, which is the quiet type that you want so you wont be making it any quieter than it is as stock.
So what do you currently have? the standard set up or has someone put a noisy aftermarket dump valve on the car?
In short, though, if you are wanting to upgrade the standard part or get rid of a noisy dumpy valve you should go for the Forge 007p valve. they are about £85 if you use some of the suppliers on this forum, or sometimes come up on the for sale section, they have a liftime warranty and have proved to be very reliable.
Just thought perhaps you mean you dont like the pisst sound but want a whoosy dump valve? - of so:
1 grow up
2 to get this either get a forge splitR valve or get an induction kit which makes the dv action louder.
FYI the ecu expects the air to be recirculated, so using a dv that dumps expternally is not recommended as then the air 'in the system' will be different to that the ecu will be using to calculate fuel air mix etc.
PS make a note of this, as its likely that after a while your post and mine will get deleted as its not really the thread to be talking about this.
Sorry admins
