Dump valves (also known as blow-off valves) are not a new idea and have been around since the early
1980’s. Their function is to release un-used boost pressure when lifting off the throttle of a turbocharged
car. When accelerating the turbocharger produces boost (positive pressure) which is used to ‘Force feed’
the engine with large amounts of compressed air. When you lift off the accelerator, the throttle butterfly
is closed and the boost has no escape route, so it backs up through the intercooler and causes backpressure
that tries to stop the turbo from spinning, this is known as ‘compressor stall’. By fitting a
dump valve, every time you release the throttle the excess boost pressure will be released, which means
a significant reduction in turbo ‘lag’, contributing towards faster pick-up between gear changes. In
extreme cases on cars with high revving engines or large turbochargers, the shaft within the turbo has
been known to snap when no form of dump valve has been used. A counter product of the reduced
back pressure is that the turbocharger itself will last longer as less thrust load is placed on the delicate
internals. These two reasons are why re-circulating dump valves are now fitted as standard equipment on
most turbocharged production cars, albeit of sometimes compromised quality.
After many years of exhaustive testing on a wide variety of both road cars and high powered race cars,
Bailey Motorsport introduced the Piston design in 1997. Piston dump valves have many advantages over
their diaphragm style counterparts, including faster reaction times, increased boost capability and in the
case of our ‘EVO’ valve the ability to work on cars with airflow meters. (not possible with diaphragm type
dump valves)
