There is a blow off valve on the diesels and you should be able to hear it sometimes when backing off the power. The sound is fairly muffled and infrequent.

boys please No not dump valves are you trying to make it sound like a Scooby. which of course a diesel never will.

What do you reckon the benefit will be from a dump valve many believe even on a STI Scooby it really does not add anything.

Ah well I only had a WRX Wagon fitted with PPP. The guys over on SIDC told me not to bother fitting a dump valve as it would make no real difference.

Have you been over to www.x5drivers.co.uk yet.
