Evening all

I have a 2002 WRX euro import. I have a bailey dumpvalve fitted and I was driving at around 80mph in 4th gear the other day when it seemed to get stuck open, when i realeased and then depressed the accelerator pedal it then went back to normal.

Is this a dodgy dumpvalve or something else? its done it a couple of times now, it just seems to jam open.

Thanks

was it the dump valve stuck open or waste gate?

Doidge

dump valve i think

thanks

almost certain its your DV fella , i had exactly the same problem when i had a bailey fitted , its the piston inside which expands a little therefore holding the valve open , its fookin annoying and holds you back in power for a short burst .


Just out of interest did you have a DV12 bailey ???

Hey there, yea its a DV12, does that mean its a faulty DV? or is this normal?

thanks

Faulty i'm affraid fella , and i may well be wrong but i think it could possibl cause overboosting etc , or other potentially bad side affects ,





And the DAMN power loss untill it shuts does your box in

thats a common problem with baileys, the spring isnt strong enough to keeop the valve closed. brought a gfb from scooby clinic as my baileys was leeking boost while driving, no probs with new DV

Doidge

Thanks for the replies everyone, appreciate it, looks like a new dv then maybe

Doidge

Just one more thing, what DV would everyone recommend to replace the bailey?

Thanks
