Default Any one tried one of these???
Just seen these cheap dump valve's on the bay of E and wondered if anyone on here had any tried them and if they are any good, usually i shy away from stupidly cheap things but i tried a cheap dump valve before on another car and it worked better than the bailieys i had fitted and at the mo i cant afford a HKS, so come on them what you's lot think?

Not that I know anything about dump valves but copied this from a post by Duncan at RaceDynamics he posted on Scoobycity a while back re upgrade path for Scoobs.

"a vent to atmosphere dump valve will not improve the performance but if you must fit one for the sound then stick to a good make - forge have always been good from what I have seen. "(Baileys are less so)

Get a forge, they're not that expensive

I had a forge re-circ and it sounded like a wrought iron gate clanging shut every time it dumped, bloody terrible sound.

I guess that sound gets absorbed buy the 'TISHHHHH' of a VTA....

I have a GFB Respons and can't fault it... well made, fully adjustable to full VTA or full recirc and the spring tension just takes an allen key to adjust

But... it's expensive... SWMBO bought it for my birthday though

Also +1 for Forge, had one before and their after sales support is superb - they sent me a free full servicing kit for a Forge valve I bought off ebay!
