Hello guys,
I had a plan to mount a blow off valve since I bought a car (which came with a car as previous owner "did not have time to mount") but was reluctant to do so because I thought there was something fishy about that excuse. However, yesterday I decided to carry on and scheduled it for installation... today.
So, I woke up full of excitement, the sunny morning promised a lovely and joyfull day of fiddeling arround with my car. But I am afraid my predictions were correct. When the valve was in place I went for a test drive and the car was not the same, as I accelerated my breakfast stayed at the same place in the stomach and did not express any interest of moving under the influence of some extra side force. As a result the ride was a bit disapointing. However, during my test drive the dump valve was making a correct whisteling sound when I take my foot of the accelerator and I met Attero on the motorway and we stopped for a chat. (Nice to meet you [=)
What is the reason of loss of power: Leaking air in dump valve pipes or valve itself? Computer is confused and being naughty? What pressure should turbos create and whats the best way to test it?
Thank you.
