Didn't mean to hit the "thanks" button, and can't see a way to reverse it!
Anyway, no point fitting a dump valve on a Diesel as they don't have a throttle butterfly.

Look at you tube there on golfs tdi and other diesels
Loads of pointless Chav crap around, but that doesn't make it right!!
I've just listened to diesels with dumpvalves. They sound like a tractor has just developed a massive puncture.
Bravo is in that price-range now?
Lol, all down hill for you Diesel owners now! Probably can't afford to run the petrol one 
Dump valve would be a nightmare wiring and piping, not to mention the amount of trips to Fiat to get warning lights knocked off till you get it right,
you'd be better off getting a straight through exhaust and a induction kit, you get serious turbo noise then.

Had it remapped but went fiat for some work under warranty and they reset it back to standard so bought a tmc tuning box which works great more power and better mpg
Love it when people buy a performance modification and go YEAH MPG!
It's only real performance if you destroy your MPG!

I will never understand people wanting to buy dump valves for diesels.

My warranty is up soon (59 plate) looking to get it re-maped. Is there anything else I should do. Was going to get a bmc or k&n air filter. Should I change the brakes?
I no mechanic so I'm a bit lost with all the chat on here.
I love the power I get now, but would love some more lol, and better MPG would be a bonus.
Any recommendations on where to go? I live in Scotland (Edinburgh)
