Who cares, just buy it! :D

The standard dump valve uses 34mm pipes so all you need is one that matches that. I got a GFB Hybrid one for £150, it came with 25mm hoses, but a small amount of bodging later and I was whooshing all over the place!

Be careful though as my original insurer cancelled my policy when I fitted the dump valve :mad:

I would be wary about claims of the loudest fastest best greatest etc........At the end of the day it will be hidden down in the depths of your engine bay and will be muffled anyway. Mine is quite lod enough, lets people know what you have................ :D

bit of advice needed please. asked three mechanics I know, who all said the will be happy to fit the BOV. but none of them have done one before. any info for them would be appreciated. [ just to calm my fears !! ] instructions included with kit, are a bit basic. info please on location, mounting, which pipes to cut, where to get best vacuum feed , set up after fitting. etc, any help would be appreciated.

its very simple all you have to do is remove the standard internal valve and replace it wiyh your new one, if its an external valve connect it to the metal pipe coming from the intercooler and block the other pipe the vacum pipe is on the standard valve just remove that and put it on the new bov.
the standard valve has access from inderneath nearside INSERT INTO post VALUES (passenger side) follow the black metal intercooler pipe and youll see it
