Default We need more power captain!

So................. I've got a '98 wagon UK turbo with PPP, thinking about fitting a dump valve. I've heard HKS are the ones to go for. Will they work with my car as is? I have no other engine mods.....

I look forward to hearing the collective wisdom of the forum...........

You guys rock!!!

If the intent of your modification is, as per the message header, to realise more power, spending £ on an aftermarket dumpvalve is a step in the wrong direction. If you want your car to make strange noises, change the dumpvalve by all means. If you want your car to work better/faster, this is not the way to go.

^^^^^^^^^^^^agree^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have a forge vta fitted to my bug wrx, and to be honest it sounds pretty trick but i'm always living in fear that it will kill my hfm, and ultimately make my engine commit suicide!!! Its a sore subject on here. Some people love it some hate it. Think i might sell mine and go back to stock to be perfectly honest. Spend your hard earned on exhaust mods and a map. An extra 50-60bhp wins over whoosh noises every time.
Either way i wish you the best in your travels for POWER!
