Intercooler/dump(resert)? Valve

Featured Replies

I have recently bought fabia vrs and contemplating front mounted intercooler and some sort of bov. Im sure iv heard before of a resert valve? Wondered if this is true, aparently works like, recycling the air, an rather than the typical hiss of dump valve its more of a pigeon noise?! Also, what would be the best (and size) for intercooler, help would be much appreciated

Have a search,

As said a hundred times before. A dump or blow off valve on a VNT diesel is pointless and will usually result in less power

Theres no vaccum so a dv or bov would open as soon as the boot built up resulting in no boost, there chavvy aswel lol

I kno theres no power gain etc, but that doesnt answer question about resert? Valve or what ever its called. An size etc for intercooler.

You mean recirc?

A recirc valve dumps unwanted pressure into the unpressurised part of the system, i.e. the intake, where as BOV will dump straight to the atmosphere.

The owl type noise comes from cutting out the cat and or muffler.

Best IC is totally dependant on budget.

What's the best IC for £200 is a totally different question to what's the best IC for £600

As said, search the forum

There are hundreds of topics with all the info you need.

Ok thats possibly what i mean. What about intercooler, as i seen some like type b type f etc but not sure which is best as in type, size etc.

as said, what budget you got for a intercooler as this changes things.

Another Silver Mk 1 per chance?

with..... let me guess...... dark wheels? :giggle:

As you're only "round't corner" you're welcome to come and have a look at my set up.

No need for a DV/BOV on a diesel.

Intercoolers - minefield. Roll the dice.....

You're welcome to come and have a look at my set up = You're welcome to come and have a look at my set up on the Mk 1 fabia with a SEAT Sport FMIC, Hybrid Garrett turbo etc. etc,

Another silver one with dark wheels = A mate of mine ( tylermasonfabiavrs in here is in Hinckley) has a Silver Mk1 with dark wheels, and I know of another one (in Hinckley) with dark wheels (aside from mine) so I was specualting as to that being you.....

Intercoolers/Roll the dice = take your pic FORGE, SEAT Sport, eBay, NoName etc etc. tooo many discussions on here about the in's out's why's and wherefor's of how good/bad/indifferent each one is vs how much it costs

No need for a DV/BOV on a diesel = errrr No need for a DV/BOV on a diesel.
