You can put those things on but a dump valve wont make it quicker and an FMIC wont give it much.

FMIC you can do but dump valve is expensive as its a diesel.

Thats true Gregg. Looking at £100+ for a dump valve.

TBH, wastegate sounds nicer anyways.

Up the boost and fuelling, theres also the white ring mod on the fuel pump. I want to have a go at it myself but not all that clued up on it. Theres a tutorial here http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=35931

Diesels or TD's shouldn't be able to have dump valves because of the way the air flows or something?

but recently you can buy kits especially for the diesel engines, but I have no idea how they work

I plan on upping the boost and doing the white ring mod on my girlf's car after our holiday, that'll be fun
