Atmospheric dump valves do work on 1.8 turbo engines
I have proved this as have many others. Mate, you need to move the DV over to the intercooler pipe, it sounds like the DV itself is faulty. Get a Bailey kit from Bailey motorsport, the kit comes with everything you need to move the dump valve over onto the intercooler pipe. You cut the ic pipe in 2, put the metal tbar in between and connect the DV. I had the bailey one, no fault codes, no problems, was perfect. Unfortunately, i had a failure with my dv itself, so i decided id had enough of the noise and went back to recirc. Honest mate, phone bailey motorsport, they are as good as gold and very very helpful.
Everyone else, do me a favour, stop saying they dont work on A3 1.8 Turbo's, cause they do. They are not the best for performance, no question there but they do work.
sorry for the rant, im sick of being told im a liar.

Easy fella....nobody called you a liar /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Sorry my post does seem to go against what you've stated, but was not the itention, another case of brain not in use whilst fingers are moving. I should of put that the fault was not the fact it was atmospheric but that it sounded like it's leaking, which the MAF would pick up on.....and there is no reason that I can see why an atmospheric DV shouldn't work without causing problems with the ECU, but do expect a loss in performance, which is why I stated the other type which only vent a small amount, but still acheive the noise.
Will try to type what I'm thinking next time /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif
Were your 1/4's run with the atmospheric DV fitted?

they were all run with the atmospheric dv, but all in limp mode /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif Something to do with a dosconnected hall sensor. I dont see why we cant do very well on the next 1/4 mile, had a play with an S3 the other day and actually pulled away from it. The look on the drivers face was a picture /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif The poor IS200 couldnt keep up with either of us though /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh_roll.gif
