you can get diesel dump valves but they are different to the normal petrol ones an are very pricey

yup becuz deisels use compression to fire rather than a spark plug they haveto make a special dump valve. and there pretty tricky to fit as far as i know!

and the louder it is the more power it gives you ;)

there isn't really much point in having a dump valve on a derv because there are no performance gains they just sound the bollox!
i can get them done for ?170 fitting by a guy i know (Chris Collier - caverswall, S-O-T) but you cant use bailey dump valves because they blow off at 1 bar.

have you got a 1.7td nova???
cos i have, just wanna know what you think of them
