I have managed to get hold of a dump valve from a Toyota MR2 turbo. i just wanted to know where to plumb the little vacum pipe on the valve into as Diesel turbo engines dont seem to rin a vacum as petrols. I know you can run the dump valves as i have seen them on the Austrailian website and on Mercedes Sprinters of all things.

Use one of the small vacuum lines across top of engine or the one that goes to the vacuum tank. Just install another T piece.Originally posted by christopoher murphy

A lifted truck is great down the drive-thro, the other evening my head lights actually shone over the top of some stupid sticker covered Civic. If I got close enough, I almost managed to make him disappear.

Thanks tony, gives me the insight to get the beast lifted.

O.K here is my two cents worth.
I had a look at BOV's myself.
I ended up just disabling the throttle butterfly as its only job really was to engage the EGR ( gone ).
I found that with the butterfly locked open I was getting much less turbo lag and it was quicker to come on boost through gear changes.
If you have got a BOV and can be bothered fitting it then great, the effect will be similar.
Let us know how you go.Simon.O.
