	he may just want the ptttsssshhhhhhh , some ppl dont care about power do they :lol:

	plus i dont like the idea of plumbing into the brake vacuum hose. you also need to get some sort of valve like an egr valve or amal valve, then you need to create a switch on the throttle cable.

	yeah they do tend to lose the TD a bit of horses but coz its a diesel people just think the worst of it,take the new VW golf TDi for instance,uncle just bought one, and its fast as something really fast :lol:

	how did u go about it for your c mate? costs involved? is there enough boost for a genuine tshhh? im considering selling my 1.4 sri, keeping all my bits and buying a 1.7 dti corsa 3dr in red, and get a nice FMIC in the irmscher bumper.

	Who would be interested in having a dump valve on their diesel corsa? i made a diesel dump valve for my corsa c. i think its cool but it might be sad. for those of us who are unfortunate to own diesel cars this is a cool wee mod. what do u think??? :wave:
