adenjdannenmaier Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandals Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I would recommend this: http://www.scoobyparts.com/performance/gfb-tuning-products/gfb-respons-tms-bov 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.

adenjdannenmaier Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 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?

Sandals Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adenjdannenmaier Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyc Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 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! Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adenjdannenmaier Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 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 Aden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Is it the bailey ons that keep failing due to the spring? or am i thinking of another brand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
