DV26 Evo FTW ! ! !

Or any other dual piston type.... like the Forge one or the TurboSmart one!

Hi the dv24 or the dv26 evo will work. what are you after the dv24 will be more audible as it as only one piston. this is the answer i got form Bailey when asked

Hi Tiny Tim are they quiet or do they make a nice sound too ?

Ive just taken a Bailey dump valve off my 2liter turbo executive.

Its a bailey DV24 and makes a very nice whoosh sound when you change gear.

Hi TehAgent for what reason have you removed it then ?it looks like the one I may get then

Ahh, now I know why the knob-ends that used to drive up and down my road's Wren-o 5's made that weird wooshing noise! I thought they'd done something stoopid! (I even found one after one had lost control outside the fish and chip shop, damn, should have kept it).

If you want a nice sound, get a diaphragm style D/V, it'll be louder than a piston type. BUT... its down to taste... most modern turbo petrol cars have a re-circ hich puts the released air back into the airbox/filter flow rather than dumping to atmosphere (the tiisssccchh sound).... personally i prefer re-circulating D/V's, not only because i prefer the silence, but because i think they have a more positive efect on the throttle response.

I removed it because i felt chavvy, though i did notice a slight lag between gears when the turbo fired up that i didnt get whilst the DV24 was on.

The problem you had or have is the same problem that you will get if using a diaphram based bov... you get a poor seal so you start leaking boost... this I find is a prolem with some single piston bov's... when I put the DV26 on mine... it was much better, crisper and more responsive... oh and it made a nice chirp lol
