Ok i just ordered a 110 decibel blow off valve for my 1990 lotus esprit turbo se....Obviously i want to vent it into the atmosphere and not re circulate it as it ruins the sound,the purpose i bought the blow off valve............My questions are: The given procedure on Espritfactfile,is that vent to atmosphere or re circualtion?

How can i get instruction and info to give to my mechanic in order to install it?

Do i need a specific kit?

On this site they claim its a 9 out of 10 in difficulty whereas on the Lotus.Uk site they say it takes only 45 minutes.What gives?

Once again i dont want to recirculate it,i want to vent to atmosphere,is this difficult?

any info or help will be greatly appreciated....thanks!!!

The easiest installation for a dump valve is described at:

I have done it this way for a non-recirculating valve, 45 mins or thereabouts.

Order the kit that is on Andy's web site (order it from Justin). It is much easier than the one described in the fact file and does not require you to drill the manifold.
