right this is a bit weird but i am at a loss with what to do, i have the green spring in the dumpvalve and have had it on the car for about a year and its been great really lound noise at even low boost, but now thats all stopped :roll:
driving home yesterday it seemed the dumpvalve occasionally stuck open as i could hear the pressure leaking then it would kick in, but today it stopped working entirely, no noise at all
i stripped the dumpvalve down and all looked ok, so i cleaned it all and checked for any marks etc and put it back with the yellow spring in, still nothing not even on high boost, im running 1 bar just the chatter through the air filter
i stripped it down about five times cleaning it and checking the springs etc, then i looked at it on the car the vacuum seems to be good as its reading -15 on the gauge and the piston is pulled back but it still doesnt work put the green spring back in as i thought maybe the vacuum is a little weak there and it worked but it has a delay on the dumping????!!!!!!
its not as i lift off i have to wait for about a second longer than before until it works which means on quick gear changes it doesnt work, so i thought maybe the vacuum isntstrong enough there, but the guage says otherwise anyone got any ideas???

might sound silly bu maybe the DV has a hair line crack in it??

When u change gear does ur boost drop to a - reading, then when u hit the gas it goes to a + reading???

Do u get a loud chatter when changing gear?

yep all of above, the chatter is the air hitting the turbo blades and coming out of the air filter i believe, everything is aas it was before except no noise

cheers for the pm matty i will get back to you on that one, maybe at the weekend if it dont fix it

ive sorted the prob thanks guys, was the piston sticking against the seals and not fully retracting, a bit of the old silicon spray and alls well again, actually sounds alot better then before now :p
