V8 Dump valves (blow off valves)


jaldo

Recommended Posts

1998 Esprit V8. I recently installed a couple of Forge blow off valves (15-23 psi) ,The valves don't vent when revving up the engine.I had already change the springs (rated at 23-30 psi) since nothing was happening. Do I need to disconnect the wastegate valves for the dump valves to work? The engine runs perfectly,no issues with the factory turbos.

You need to go lower on spring pressure LoL. 918 is rated at 11 when all is running good. I’m still tuck at 4.7ish

Update: 

I installed 5 - 11 psi springs and they work beautifully.
