As Title really?

Are the Turbosmart Kompact dump valves the same for the Ibiza and the Leon as someone is selling one from their leon and i was going to buy it if it will fit the ibiza.

I think they are but wanted to make sure before i bought it.

Thanks

Chris

Hmm

I want it cause of the noise as my old car had a dump valve and i miss it on the ibiza as the 007 ive got isnt loud enough.

Alot of people run them without any problems tho dont they? Guess yours was very unlucky?

Did you try running it with it not open that far to stop the stalling?

If its stalling then its not setup correct...means its open to far takes a little while to get it set up perfect but its worth it if you want the noise...

Yep i am the king of these lol, nobodys played with them more than i have.

I have got vagcom but been quite a while since i used it so would be worth you checking exactly what settings are needed to sort it out.

Im about most of the time mate, im up in patchway so just off the M5

My mate will get a post up so he will have the info on what needs changing on vagcom.

Once the turbosmart has arrived (Hoping it turns up 2moro) i will give you a PM and we can both drive upto Bristol and meet you.

Is patchway off the M5 around the cribbs sort of area of bristol?

Be nice to see your car aswell as remember reading you got a skyline when you got rid of the cupra?

From what i can tell from the pictures it looks fine.

Should be set so the inltet opposite the trumpet is in the tip and the inlet at the bottom goes to the charge pipe.

The real way to get it to sound off properly is to get it located onto the cold side...

Best way i found to set it up was to just rev the car upto about 4k then just let the revs fall to idle if it stalls or trys to stall then tighten it up a quater turn etc till the revs return to idle fine.
Then take it for a test drive and accelerate quite hard upto about 4k again then press clutch and let the revs fall to idle again tighten or loosen to get it all running spot on and all should be good. :)
