Hi all, got a lovely standard punto Gt and want to keep it that way:D, my question is people say the standard recirculating dump valve can harm the turbo and that I should fit a better one like a bailey is this true?
If so i'm worried about the loud tissh noise it makes and it might make me look like a bit of a chav and people might laugh:( please don't anyone takes offense if they have one fitted but you know what I mean! is there one that doesn't make a noise or do all Punto Gt owners have loud dump valves?

Cheers Stu:)

First of all complete lies. The standard fiat dump valve won't effect your turbo :rolleyes:. Stick with the standard one it works fine and won't harm your turbo at all.

And yes loud dump valves sound crap even on subaru's tbh.
 
You can get a baileys recirculating dump valve, these ones shudnt make any noise and there stronger then the standard item.
 
Thanks to both replys:) I'm gonna stick with the standard one, the car runs sweet as a nut so i'm very happy just being a bit too worried maybe? Other question (sorry) I also read that a small injection symbol in red sometimes comes up on the dash, not happened to mine but if it does what is it?

Thanks guys:)

May I congratulate you on your choice. Not many GT's left unmolested now :(, everyone seems to chav them up :bang:.

As for the light it could be a multitude of problems only way to tell is diagnostic when it happens.
 
Thanks Chris, yeah not being big headed but she is a beauty(y)
It is absolutely standard and almost showroom, I will get some pics up soon mate, it took me ages to find one this good and I had to drive from Nottingham to Sutton Surrey 147 miles!!! well worth it though, think i'm gonna lower it just so it looks better as I mean this but this car will not be getting ragged at the lights and thrown into the corners as I hope to keep it for a good few years and be in the same condition its in now:D
