What is the loudest dump valve on the market for a golf gti mk5?
Ive only ever seen forge dump valves for sale

The Mk5 GTI doesn't have a 'dump' valve. It has a recirculating Diverter Valve (DV) and the 2.0T FSI engine is a lot happier not dumping air.

If you like that chavvy constant whoooshy-whoosh sound you can buy a Forge component which will make the noise for you but it's not the Forge DV. Dump valve sounds simply don't suit the Mk5 or 6 GTI. It's a German not Japanese car and is of a different era.

Rs4 is N/A engine it doesnt have the diverter valve  ,you talking about the old RS4 ??

just buy a Forge DV and a good intake ,it sounds X times better than any VTA dump valve  :happy2:
