The fake ones dont sound real at all, they dont chatter like dump valves and will continue after the clutch is released

yep, but they won't fit, they are the wrong offset. If they are the ones I am thinking of anyway, they are et38 IIRC.

Dump valves are not controlled by the clutch.

Its throttle controlled. When u lift off the throttle and the throttle plate closes. The trapped air goes out the dump valve.

Chav valves are shite. They are on turbos for a reason, to overcome compressor stall. If u fit one to a 1.2 you are quite simply. a fool.

What was meant by the fact that PAS isnt worth it is the amount of hassle that it would be to fit it to a non PAS car, the cost would probably overtake the value of the car itself, rendering itself pointless.

hoped that cleared that up

buy some second hand alloys off this website, or ebay, second hand alloys are much better value. and you will be able to afford much better alloys than halfords are offering for £200

Nothing dude, would just prefer to see you spend your money on better things than what you've suggested. No real concern of mine, just offering my opinion.
