I know im gonna get some flack fo asking.. so please dont bother.lol im just after some help..

After research, and help from others, ive found that you can put a dump valve on a diesel..
What id like to know, or peoples opinions on, is, what the best one is, and what it is exactly that i need.. as  im finding it ather confusing...  :confused:

You'll need an electronic dump valve kit.

You don't really need a d/v on a diesel as they have no throttle butterfly so create very little 'turbo stall', but if you want the god awefull pptttttssssshhhhhh type sound, the electronic one is what you require.

I imagine somewhere like Demon Tweaks would have one in the catalogue, worth looking in there.


My diesel runs fine, spool fast and has little-to-no lag between gear changes @ 1.6bar boost (circa 220bhp).
