    I have never had dump valve on any of my vr-4's but AFAIK you only need one...

    Other techie people or BOV devotees may be along shortly to clarify the situation

    Yup, you can only have one I believe And to be fair, you only need the one, it's pretty loud believe me.

    There is only one feed to the cylinders from the turbos, so only one pressure area to put a dump valve on. Putting a second valve on will be redundant - and the chances of them both operating at the same time is remote, but I guess could be possible.

    I've got one of those cast flange pipes, make sure you have good clips on the pipes and that they are damn tight or it will keep blowing the pipes off. The HKS sounds quite civilised if you take the whistle section out of the back.

    Incidentally just the cast flage pipe is £15 so I'd be wary of that HKS valve its probably a cheap copy mine was around £150-200 when I bought it.
