(T) More piscccht! (turbo owners, you might like this)

Been playing with the Turbo again today. Nothing new there.

Took the pipe from Turbo to throttle body off for something or other, noticed that the 1" bore tee for the dump valve was attached around a hole only 8mm in diameter on the main tube. Now seeing as though the pisccht noise (well technically, I suppose it sounds more like ptchaaa, but I'm not too good at phonetic spelling!)is dependant on how fast it releases the pressure, my old clockwork brain gradually realised things might sound a whole lot more boy racery if I filed this hole out to the full bore of the branch.

Solved a couple more niggly problems while I had things in bits and went for a drive.

Result - even at normal driving around the dump valve is about four times louder, so virtually every gearchange now produces a rather tasty sound!

Anyone want a stereo? don't think I'll ever use it again[8D]

How much? I gotta hear this Pchhhhht!

Yeah Pete,

Is there any chance of getting a pic of the part you is taking about?

I know the pipe you mean between the Turbo and the Throttle Body, but am unsure which part is the 8mm bore??

A pic would help clear this up.

Thanks

Ask any racer, any real racer, it don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning's winning!

Righto, take the dump valve off and look down the hole. See how big the hole drilled in the main pipe is, mine was only 8mm.
If you file the hole out, make damn sure you take the pipe off first and get all the filings out before you refit it.

How's the 1242 turbo project coming along? Mine should be completed next Monday (Hopefully). Just waiting for Demon Tweeks to deliver my air filter. I should be able to get it on the rolling road too to see how much bhp it's pushing out.:)

I feel a 1242 turbo coming on...

Cool, do let us know.

My 1242 is all reshimmed, new oil seals everywhere, new sump, just waiting for time to fit in. Even found a place to dyno it for me.
