Removed My Vta Dump Valve Today

[oobster]

Nice sunny day, bored working from home so I thought i'd remove the Bailey Vent To Air dumpvalve that I fitted to my car about a year ago.

The reasons for removing it were:

1. Over-revving going from 2nd into 3rd and from 3rd into 4th - this started happening roughly round about the time I fitted the dump valve

2. Just got a bit bored with the sound.

After a couple of skint knuckles and the hassle of retrieving several tools and the odd bolt from the engine under-tray (D'oh!) I finally got the original one back on.

I now wished i'd done this ages ago - the over-revving between gears is gone and the car definitely seems to be boosting 'stronger'. Plus now there is no worry (myth or not) about bore-wash caused by over-fuelling!

Anyone want a free Bailey Vent-To-Air dump-valve for a newage? Needs a good clean-up. I think it's a DV 12

Well done. I think everyone should remove their chav valves. They sound a bit tbh.

What does over-revvng mean? I'm not mad-keen on the sound they make either.
