By Dump valve i assume you mean BOV. And if that is the case check the piping down by the intercooler endtanks. it might be down there. I don't know who would build a single turbo 7 or any turbo car without a BOV. And if there realy isnt one just buy one and a flange and have it welded to your intercooler pipe (the one near the ast) and do yourself a favor and replace the ast with an aluminum one or eliminate it. Also i would look into an aluminum radiator.

How about som info on the car? Congrats BTW hope it runs well.

I think it was running a Greddy turbo... but i will have a closer look and get back to you... do people normally fit a BOV in the turbo side piping our the engine side piping?

If you go that route then you'll have to also replace the pipe connecting to the elbow with the compatable peice. It is longer than your current one.

Turbo timers are worthless. Just dont get on boost for the last couple of miles before you shut it off.

Sounds like you have LOTS to learn about these cars. Read the FAQ's in the 3rd gen tech section. It will help you in the long run!!
