NEW MEMBER NEEDS ADVICE

Hi everyone, i have just bought a 1995, 850 T5 auto estate, and was wondering how hard it is to install a wastegate / dump valve, and also if its really worth it? cheers everyone.

Welcome to the forum.

I will move this to the 850 Forum where you get better response. Personally I do not know the answer, but I'm sure somebody will.

Welcome to the forum.

1. Your car already has a wastegate. So why would you be adding one?

2. By "Dump Valve" do you mean a Blow Off Valve? In reality they are two different things.

Yeah your car already has a waste gate (called a CBV) it just recirculates the pressure, which is why you do not hear it that much.

You could run a BOV, but you're only paying for sound. Oh and you have to weld it on, unless you have the samco kit.
