Frankie Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 quote from FAQ of TDI club:11. Blow-off valves or BOV or similarSince people insist upon asking about these devices, they need to be discussed ... The purpose of a "blow-off valve" or "diverter valve" on a gasoline engine is to give boost pressure someplace to go when the throttle plate is abruptly closed, to prevent operating the compressor in the "surge" regime. Since a diesel engine doesn't have a throttle plate, a gadget like this serves absolutely no purpose and has no business anywhere on a diesel engine. "But I like the cool noise ..." Too bad, this discussion is focused on things that WORK. Even if you manage to find some way to make such a device work, the noise of people "in the know" laughing at you because they realize that it has absolutely no place on your engine will drown out the noise that the device itself makes.Installation: Impossible. Cannot be made to work even if you insist upon it.Advantages: None.Disadvantages: Won't work. People who actually know how a diesel engine works will laugh at you for even considering it. You are your own warranty.Cost factor: Too much, all things considered.Cautions specific to this modification: Won't accomplish anything.Suggested modifications in parallel: Irrelevant."Bang for the Buck": One hundred percent total waste of time and money.What if I want more? Do something that actually accomplishes something ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaPD Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Totally agree with the above....no benefit to be gained in anyway, shape, or form by fitting one to your TDi.Mark style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 The reason people use them on petrol turbo cars, is that when you let off the gas and dip the clutch, the turbo goes into negative pressure, causing the turbo to stall...When the dump valve opens, It dumps the build up of presure from the turbo, and allows it to keep spinning more freely.(afaik) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuffers Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Ive got a electronic dump valve. Brought it for 100 quid off ebay, second hand. I want it for a backup to prevent over boosting. Should help for a quicker spool up of the turbo between gear shifts.I thought the main reason of a dump valve is get rid of the left over hot compressed air. The longer it stays comepressed in the pipework the hotter it gets. So it would make sense to be a benefit to both diesels and petrols. Diesels dont have them because they dont produce vacuum.The tdi club FAQ on BOV's is a little out of date i think. They refer to fact that it cant be done more than being useless.

nfbr Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Diesels DO NOT need a dump valve...It WONT help your turbo spool up quicker...TDI's spool up quicker with a fully enclosed system, no dump required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carter Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 derv doctor dump valves are complete ****, mine was nothing but trouble, infact any dump valve kit that has to be activated by a switch and takes its vacum from your brake servo pipe it crap.you will see no perfomance gains from a dump valve on a diesel only loss. you would purely be fitting one for the sound.there is one dump valve kit on the market at the moment for diesels and i have seen it first hand, and can vouch for how good it is, you wont see any gains from it but you wont get any loss either, its from Adam Baker Developments www.abvss.co.uk if any one does feel the need to fit one i would give adam a call, tell him i sent ya. he has put alot of time and money in to this kit and it is only used on PD engines.

Tigzâ„¢ Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I've got a dump valve off ebay, only thing is because I dont have a turbo it makes a noise when I hit the funny pedal, then goes quite when I lift off.Have I been ripped off?

Im probably wrong about the spool up part of it, but as my ecu is not gonna be controling the turbo i need something to kill the boost whilst im setting up the boost controller.
