Hi all I've recently become the proud owner of a 2004 impreza wrx blobeye with is basically box fresh apart from a ppp, the only thing i want to change about the car is the standard waste gate which i was looking to replace with a baileys DV12 dump valve, i was just wondering if anyone has fitted one in the past or is currently using one and what you would rate the noise as? Or if you had a better suggestion id love to hear it.

 

Many Thanks Aden

I would recommend this:

Reason I recommend is because it is adjustable between fully atmospheric or fully recirc... or any combination in between!! If you go with a dump valve that is only atmospheric, there is a good chance you will get some lumpiness every now and again between gear changes because you have dumped all the air and you briefly run rich. I personally use the GFB one and have it almost fully atmospheric, just have a small amount of recirc to stop the lumpiness which I got occasionally. 

Thanks for the recommendation I've looked at the link you posted and a few Youtube videos about that bump valve its looks like a really good choice, but for a smaller budget is there anything else you would recommend?

The baileys is a good choice, few members use them and rate them highly! It all just depends on how your car likes venting all the air!

I've got a baileys. Seems fine but heard the forge was better. I still want an ssqv

in response to martyc with your baileys dump valve do you have any problems with the engine idling or any lumpyness just to give me an idea of what they're like. im not really after a ssqv that's not the noise i want i want a nice loud PSHHHHH not CHUCHUCHU hahaha

No it seems to idle fine, gear changes are a touch lumpier but not too bad. I did put the recirc back on but the child in me didn't get on with the silence!

Thanks all for your input i think ill go for the GFB dump valve as its fully adjustable and i can play with it to suit mine and my cars needs

 

Live long and prosper

Good choice, it's a really well built unit... you will not be disappointed! 

Is it the bailey ons that keep failing due to the spring? or am i thinking of another brand?

I've got bailey's on both bug and blob. Not had any issue's with either of them. Bugs been on about 8 years. Think the blob been on about 3 years now.

I've ordered the GFB dump valve and it should be arriving in 1-2 days so ill be posting what i make of it once it has arrived and I've fitted it 

I've just fitted my shiny new dump valve it really didn't take long at all and i must say i'm very pleased with it, it didn't really need much adjusting at all and i have big smiles on the drive home i highly recommend the GFB dump valve now 

Excellent, glad you're as pleased with it as I am!

Sound off ;)
