ive had a quick look in my engine bay. but can't seem to locate the dump valve. looking on the intake side of things and around the intercooler. but its not glarinly obvious. see sumthink that sought of looked like it, but was so small i wouldnt believe it!
Anyone got a pic of where it is?
MY98 uk turbo
PS whats better - Forge or Bailey D/V
cheers onelung

 

There's a pipe attached to the bottom right corner of the intercooler.
The dump valve is attahced to that pipe.
It's made of black plastic.

 

Did the 98 not have the slanted intercooler engine? If so then then the dump valve is not in the same place.
My OE dumpvalve was metal certainly not plastic? I'm now a Forge boy and quite happy with it

 

UK 98MY has non-slanty IC. Think it's the same as 00 etc, but its certainly not the slanty early one (not on my 98 anyhow !)

I'll be putting some more pics on my web site soon, so I'll try and get one of the DV - cos mines standard

I dont think mine has a Slanty I/C. certainly dont think my dump valve would be plastic, at least i hope its not!
Anyone help?

Matey - I'll try and put the pic up tonight and I'll add a reply to this thread with the url.

The standard 98 is plastic, or at least mine is ! Brun, I think that the 99-> had a better, metal DV.

If you look at the IC, from the front of the car, it is in the closest right hand corner of the IC. You'll see a hose leading down. This goes into a plastic drum, about 2 inches deep, which has three connections. The hose in, a hose out, going down and a hose going horizontally, towards the back of the engine.

Hopefully , the photo will help,

It's made of black plastic if it's OEM

ITS THE BLACK LUMP ON THE LARGEST PIPE IN THE SHOT

Mark, is that a MY97?? I thought the MY98 had the bolt on BOV?

 

I hope not - the intercooler is square and the bonnet has the creases and the dash is white ... etc

it is a Nov 97 , but 98MY ?

Mark

 

It was the MY99 onwards that had the BOV attached to the intercooler, I have MY98, and it is definitely the face-lifted classic model, and the BOV is definitely remote from the intercooler

 

Cheers, Ragnarock[2 ?]

I think that the 97/98 is supposed to be the 'dodgy' one - the 99-> had the improved version ?

I've had no probs with mine though .....

Cheers guys,
had a look at it and yes its the plastic lump on my MY98. im definately changing it for a Forge D/V. The plastic one looks 'orrible.
phhhhhhsssssshhhhhhh
