Running more th8an standard psi...
my understandin of the recirculating Dump valve isssss.... that the purpose of a dv is to release the built up back pressure caused when the throttle plate closes. if the pressure is not released it causes the turbo to slow quicker than designed and possibly stall indefinately it WILL eventually cause you turbo to fail and basically cost you a lot of money something along those line.. it does feel smoother though

The standard dump valve can withstand a lot more power/pressure than the standard car puts out.

Also do you get a good sound from the dv ?

got them with the car, they're not standard wheels though..
Dv isn't ott loud, you can hear it but if you want a dv for the noise get an atmosphere one.. id rather a recirculating one tbh

Not so. The standard Bosch item has a plastic diaphram and is prone to leaking boost, and perferating. The metal DV's don't have this problem.
