Dump valves dont give oyu more power
I have a full HKS exhaust system and an Apexi induction kit, so I'd hope for over 250....we will see.
Are you booked in for the rolling road day?

not yet, but am on a trigger finger as to whether to just book it

sorry, my bad, u r right dump valve is only there as a pressure release on the turbo for gear change

im still thinking about the exhaust that got ripped off my motor as it didnt pass the SVA due to emissions!!! stringent gits!

As far as I am aware, your dump valve should also enable your turbo to spool up quicker.

It means that and although you don't gain any MORE power it will put the power that you do have on tap quicker.
