So I got my new dump valve last week and it was fitted before I got the car back from its long battle with many repairs, upgrades and an MOT.
I bought the Forge Split R Hybird from adaxo and had the garage fit it, but I imagine they will have put it on immediately without adjusting it at all.
I'm aware its adjustable between recirc and dump and I think its somewhere between, I'm guessing mostly recirc at the moment? Adaxo you don't happen to know what it was set to do you?
My last legnum had a dump valve and it was REALLY loud, very audible from inside with the windows up. This one in its current setting it easily noticeable with the windows down but I hear almost nothing with the radio on or windows up.
Also my other concern, I got under the car and listened as my friend rev'd it to around 3.5k and there was some air coming out of the "exhaust" for lack of a better word. Is it possible the spring isn't tight enough? - That said I had him bring it to idle and fast rev it to 4k and release and from being right next to it it made a significant release.
I do have an AFR gauge fitted now too and even after dumping it isn't running rich if you go back to normal throttle so I assume most of the air is still making it to the engine.

Any advice everyone?
