    Sard R2D2 adjustment

    I've got the aforementioned dump valve but have never adjusted it. Can anyone tell me whereabouts I should set it to ?

    It should be adjusted so that it doesn't open when idling.
    If you don't have any problem of e.g. stalling when idling then it will be OK.
    I never adjusted mine after fitting so I guess it didn't need it and was set appropriately from the factory.
    Mine will go for a good few seconds if I leave my foot off the accelerator which is totally different to the Blitz and Bailey ones I've had on other cars. I think they can be adjusted so that they're a bit tighter and the noise is a little shorter and sharper though I like being able to keep mine going for a good 3-4 seconds of reducing volume. I find it quite intoxicating and addictive.

    Well mine does exactly the same so I guess it is set OK. Might have a little play with it though, just to see if it makes any difference.

    I had an adjustable GFB Hybrid FX on my old VR4. If the spring was set to hard it jolted badly when coming off/on the gas
