Old style, higher up 200tdi turbo dump valve?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Got a good question for you all.

Is it worth it to install a dump valve on my new turbo? Now I know the valve lets off excess pressure so it's gotta help the life of it? But does it have any downsides?? Is it easy to put on and set up properly?

Physically impossible for them to make any difference. They are there to stop the turbo stalling when you close the throttle, without a butterfly there is nothing to make it stall in the first place, the only diesel Landrovers with a butterfly were some of the series ones which used it to create a vacuum for the servo brakes before they started fitting a vac pump.

Incorrect, the newer engines TDV6 etc also have throttles.

It is also possible to make the turbo stall on a defender. This is due to the pressure difference across the turbo. As they have wastegates already would a dump valve not help to stop this and keep it spinning? or could it not react quick enough?

On the 2.2 defender engine if you load the engine up and then put the clutch in quickly the turbo stalls. I said it was possible, I didnt say it was pretty :P

Probably possible on the 2.4 puma as well.
