Hi,

I recently installed a dump valve on my 1999 v70 t5, unfortunitly I dont have a picture but the top of the dump valve itself touches the intake manifold which can get quite hot. Will this effect the dump valve at all? such as the spring? with the fitting kit i have it would be incredibly difficult for a novice like myself to somehow relocate the dumpvalve. The only other possible solution i can think of is placing some kind of heat proof material between where the dumpvalve and manifold meet, any other ideas? [&:]

Thanks

 

After a period of time it might damage it.If there is rubber in there it might wear it out faster.

 

i am trying out a simple heat proof paste, the intake manifold doesnt get amazingly hot, bearly touchable, its only because the manifold and dump valve actually touch that its transfering the heat well, on another note the felt on the underside of the bonnet, what is it actually there for? i assumed noise dampening, but personaly, i like the sound of turbos spooling and valves dumping any particular repercussions of removing it?

 

It helps protect the paint from the heat.
