Can you buy dump valves for the G60???

[Crooky 0]

Does anyone know if you can remove the boost recirc pipe and whether it is a good idea???? Does it help for the boost to vent to atmosphere instead of being recirculated?

 

Are there dump valves you can buy for the G60?? If so where might i be able to get my hands on one!! :)

 

Any help would be great

 

Thanks

You get a dump valve type sound when you remove the boost return.

If you remove the boost return pipe do you just need to bung the hole with something or what????

 

Is there an actual dump valve unit you can buy to attach somewhere??

I don't think it has any positive impact on the G60, from what I heard. The only reason it helps turbos is because it helps them to NOT spin down so quickly off boost. Since the G60 is driven by the crank anyway, this is not relevant here.

So in other words, it's just a good way to look like a tit.

I have had 2 turbo cars and the main benefit from the dump valve is you are releasing recirculated dirty air from the system instead of passing it back through........There is the woooooooosh noise to go with which i actually happen to like.....

 

surely the supercharger would benefit from fresh cold air rather than being fed hot dirty air back into the pipework?????!! Would it not also stop oil being dragged though the recirc and throuhg onto your air filter element in the airbox?????

 

I thought recirc pipes on supercharged cars can nacker the air filter due to oil smothering the element?? I may be wrong.

 

They are far more beneficial than just creating noise!!

bear in mind that turbo's are using exhaust gas wastes,and a supercharger is mechanically driven and compressing cleaner air from the beginning,then I'd be with dr mat..........its more of a way to look a tit

Look a tit????

Surely you mean sound a tit!

ok sound and look a tit :geek: ..............as most folk in the know will think..........check out the tit who's fitted a dump valve on his supercharged motor

Use the search...( g60 AND dump AND valve )

Mate, just remove the boost return pipe and get a kit from g-werks, approx £35.

Comes with blank for charger and filter for oil breather.

Gives the dumpvalve ppptttiiissssshhhhh but you also get an awesome woooosh on acceleration that you will never get close to with a turbo.

 

That should answer you question
