ya i no they dont sound great but if it helps wear on the turbo. The flutter in the videos sounds shit tho. they could have bigger turbos fitted causing bigger boost pressure which will be louder. also what kind of air filter have you fitted?Quote:

The vast majority of people with sr's remove them with no bad effects and I know serveral people including myself who have run without one on an rb without issue for long periods of time.
Oh right iv just heard from some poeple thats its supposed to be bad for the turbo:confused: dont know why:rolleyes:Quote:

But i suppose it cant be bad if nissan dont bother on sr's in some models
that flutter sounds deadly i think! better than any chavalistic dumpvalve imo! :DQuote:

Still,id rather be going down the road sounding like a pigeon than a starlet =)
As above. running a high boost road car without a dump valve can cause issues like turbo stall(the much higher pressure goes back through the turbo and actually stops the blades spinning suddenly, leading to damage over time) and even issues keeping the pipes sealed.
Where it really came from was with drag racing, if your car has a gearbox/ecu which allows flat shifting then there is no need for a dump valve as there is no reduction in revs when changing up and therefor no pressure to be released.
As I said I ran my R32 without one(standard turbo) and on track or any situation where there happened to be someone driving quickly beside me;) it was really noticable when quick shifting as there was no lag at all when I changed up to the next gear.
