Removing Dump Valve

[Jamo]

Yea it seems to be. Thats that solved then. Now all I need to do is replace it with a proper recirculating one.

What do you mean? if it's conneted to the hose going to ic and then to the samco to the turbo inlet it is recirculating.

The car uses a maf system so it will cycle the air back to the turbo inlet post maf so the ecu doesn't through a strop about lost air mass

From the pictures this looks like the MTM Avant that used to belong to Bibby.

I was tempted to buy it to especially when he dropped the price.. but not having anywhere to store it made it impossible..

Any way, back on topic.
Good to know that you have worked out what needs doing.

I think it is one of those semi recirculating ones that dumps half the air to atmosphere, the confusion was caused by him not seeing the boost hose connected to it at first, now it all makes sense.
