Tuning Aftermarket Recirc. Dump Valve
Because you are doing it after the valve so as far as the car is concerned it still working as it should. After the valve it makes no difference to the car if it gets dumped into the atmosphere or induction.
If you are going to fit an aftermarket one then you do it after the standard one hence why it is pointless
Reason there maybe problems is because the standard recirc is connected to the ecu, so disconnect this and the car thinks its broken.
I see, I haven't had a proper look at the stock DV yet. Thanks for the tech info..
An unrelated question.. Going from what you said.. it would be possible to add a small air chamber on top of the existing DV and [THEORETICALLY] add a loud trumpet BOV if one so desired..? Interesting.. of course I have no need for such antics but it does give me an idea.. :idea:
If we all talked the same there would be no excitement in the world. :yuck:Why can't anyone spell warranty

Doubt it. Would just buy a BOV and fit it after the recirc.
LOL good point
I'm always over-thinking things I might borrow one.. just to experiment.. honest

If it's under warranty- you pay nothing.
Have a look at the standard recirc valve. It's not like a conventional valve where it runs off a separate pipe from the charge pipe- it's bolted directly to the pipe so an aftermarket valve would involve a bit of fabrication to fit, for very little gain.
Also, bear in mind that if you decide to disconnect the recirc pipework you need to blank-off the return to the turbo intake- otherwise you're drawing in dirty air.

I just had another look, I'm stuck where the (I assume) air sensor unit is connected to the stock DV, I can't see a way to bypass the stock valve at all unless you bypass the sensor (which I didn't think was possible until I saw a pic in the forum.. I sent a PM to Dangerous Dave in case he doesn't read this.
What I was going to do was fit it at the end of the long boost hose after the stock BOV.. which would be an experiment purely for the sound, of course if there was a way to get the boost to go straight to the HKS that would be better.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but aren't these all recirculating + atmospheric split??

SpitR can work as recirc or atm.
The others are only atmo.
You remove the black flexible hose that goes from the black intake pipe to the recirc valve and you connect there your new bov.
Yes you need vacuum hose ofcourse.It's easy to find.It's a thin hose left of the bov on the manifold.It's a bit hidden under the engine cover.
I can upload some fotos if you don't understand where exacthly the hoses are.

I just took a look it seems pretty straight forward, I never fitted a BOV before so forgive my ignorance :worship:
I haven't got access to a BOV yet but when I get a hold of one I'll ask you if I get stuck thanks for the offer
I'm looking on the bay for a cheap one and I've come across this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-HKS-SSQV-Universal-BOV-Blow-off-Silver-Ed-Boxed_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem25578c05a5QQitemZ160382584229QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
He seems to be selling some REALLY cheap HKS SSQVs, the bloke's from Latvia but I had a look at feedback and there's quite a few happy customers.. what do you guys think? Should I sell out the extra couple hundred :yuck:?
I had a look at previous sales of the item and they seem to go from £90 - £120..
I know SSQV wasn't on your list Reaper

Yes I think I could fine an adapter or make one this one looks easy enough, is this how you said I should set it up? The pic is about halfway down the page..

I don't know anyone using it on a tjet so I can't tell you.
But from the link at your previous post it seems like it works...

It looks like that one is just mounted on the original recirc. valve
or am i wrong?
