Default DV Side-effects or just paranoid?

Fitted a Bailey DV12 dump-valve and although I like the sound on full boost it's a bit annoying at low speeds etc.

I know it's possible i've lost some power as the car has been mapped with the re-circ but is it possible that the DV could be causing me to use more fuel?

I got the DV12 yesterday and fitted it, and now i'm back onto the re-circ till I can find out a little more.

If i'm losing power it's not really noticable but if i'm losing fuel just for a noise then I can't be bothered as it's a novelty I'm sure i'll get bored of pretty quick.

I belived I was doing so in which case potentially I could cause engine issues be it 1 days time or 10 years it would be i'm guessing unknown.

I think i'm going to go down the Forge Re-Circ DV route.

Yup, go for the Re-circ, and also, if you thinking about getting an "induction kit" dont bother, they just loose you power and can sometimes dammage your MAF
