Dump Valve + Mk1 Golf GTi

[simoncotton]

I the proud owner of a great black Mk1 Golf GTi with a G60 turbo charged engine.

However it has a very loud dump valve on it which I find very embrassing. I'm not very mechanically minded and am aware that the dump valve serves a purpose.

On a lot of the WRC Rally cars the turbo's make a 'chattering' noise rather than the dump valve 'wosh'.

Does anyonme know what I can do to change this?

Replace the present version with a recirculating piston type.

Itll virtually eliminate any dump valve noise that way.

Balls to that, thats for the burbary baseball cap no clue crew, I've had chav chuff valves on my turbos & ripped 'em right off & put recirc valves back on. With re-mapped cars & higher boost pressure they wooosh more loudly than stock, but not in such a chav manner.

I agree, I would prefer to be more understated rather then letting everyone know the car has been modified, let them have a nice surprise at the lights!! Want to try and keep the car as normal looking / sounding as possible. Let the chavs do the shouting!
