Fabia vRS - dump valve/wastegate?

[Woodsyy]

Just wondering what people have for there dump valve & wastegate, if they do have, what? And best one for money and some general info on them I don't know too much about turbo cars.

Thanks.

[Tech1e]

Fabia vRS has neither.

[Binzie]

Petrol or diesel ?

[Tech1e]

I had assumed MK1 vRS myself.

[Binzie]

Me too !

but you never know ?

[Woodsyy]

Vrs diesel.

[Tech1e]

My comment stands then, you have neither.

[Binzie]

Tbf this is in the wrong section also

DV will offer zero performance increase, only make you look like a chavvy t1t ! :giggle:

Search for "owl noise" or muflerectomy if you want your car to make additional noises

[Woodsyy]

Sorry was just asking.

[Tech1e]

Sorry was just asking.

No need to apologise, wasn't meant harshly.

Vrs diesel.

Dump valves won't work at all on any diesels as there is no throttle valve. The vRS has variable inlet guide vanes on the turbo to control boost instead of a wastegate. There are plenty of threads in the Fabia I section asking the same question, but the answer is almost always the same.

I believe you can fit an electronic operated dump valve, this will produce the sound of one but will not do anything to the performance of the car. I have even heard they actually decrease performance slightly when gear changing, and could even damage the turbo, as it dumps more pressure than it needs to, plus they do sound 'Chavvy'.

Thanks for your honesty and replies I seem to have found the answer lol!

This is a very good explanation : TDIClub FAQ - Blow-off valves or BOV or similar The rest of the FAQ is very useful as well.

You can put one in if you like the noise... Just tee it into a vac pipe and get it plumbed into your intercooler piping

Like this

This is on a pd130

I have no idea why you would want to do that....when its concisely been explained what a waste of time it is to do.

If you do think its a good idea to do the above still anyway you would actually be better off not having a TDi and just have a Nova with one of those turbo whistles from ebay

[Guest BigJase88]

Its all what the op likes you see

If he wants a tsch noise he wants a tsch noise.

It will not damage your car and it wont negate from performance THAT much...

Heck that engine bay i posted managed 267bhp with the dumpvalve in place

I bought that car with it and kept it.

I just lower the window and make vrooooooooooooooooooooooooom TISH , vrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom TISH noises. I look like a loon but it adds 40bhp.

maybe because they sound cool? and whats wrong with nova's?

[ajs_vrs]

I like the noise of a BOV personally, I cant' see if causing any harm on our engines and diesels dont have TBs.

I admit it is quite out of place on a diesel engines has not advantage but each to their own.
