SimonR Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Is it possible to run my engine (single conversion so stock BOV is history) without a dump valve for a short period? I have an HKS SSQV but ,for various reasons, installing this may need to wait for a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I wouldnted as you will get turbo stall and this may damage the turbo and on a fairly powerful set up that could be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Is it possible to run my engine (single conversion so stock BOV is history) without a dump valve for a short period? . yes, but keep it to stock boost levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 It's possible but I wouldn't floor it...or get it on boost at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonR Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Thanks gents. Unfortunately, I can't find out the stock boost level of the wastegate. Hopefully it's not too high. I don't suppose anyone knows what spring strength an HKS wastegate comes off the shelf with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 As above, you dont want all that excess boost flying back towards your housing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renar Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I would recommend against it, but if you feel you must, stay in vacuum as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
