Dump valve opinion

Hey all was hoping anyone could give me their opinion on this dump valve
http://www.autostyle.co.za/product/1769 ... Dumpvalve/

i currently have this in my car and before someone comments it was on the car when i bought it...

Is it worth while or must i change it??

Secondly it has an adjustable screw at the back what would that adjust the dump niose or the pressure??

Thanks

The screw would adjust the tension on the spring that keeps the valve shut.
Keep in mind that if you are still running a AFM the blow of valve will influence your fuel consumption.

As per your other thread mate, just remove it

so if i loosen the spring it will make a bigger dump noise or is it the other way round??

are there any prob's that could occur from adjusting it??

Ya i will just thought that thread was off the topic

Its an HKS knockoff - nice sounding, brilliant for low boost app. For high boost app u would want somthing like a TIAL.

On the HKS the screw is a nice feature, it allows you to set up how much boost pressure u want to maintain in ur system. Finding a good balance is upto ur preference. Although it sounds better at low boost to dump all pressure, u want to maintain some pressure for quick changes sothat it does not take to long to re-pressurize ur system.

Probably Lol as in, clean and scrape terminals properly then try again. Probably not making proper contact. Ur car can't just stop running because injectors were unplugged, I think ur safe bud. Unless they shorted somin when u unplugged...
