My understanding is that Forge dump valve for the MK5 GTI does not have any benefit to performance, its just a noise maker.

Oooo and buy a Caterham R300 as well, very nice. I drove one of those a few months back at Silverstone. They had set up a handling course in a car park. It was by far the most fun I have had in a car. By the end of it, my neck ached with trying to hold my head up (with helmet) against the accelaration/cornering forces!

When I make my first million I wont buy a Ferrari or an Aston, I will buy a Caterham CSR and a big carpark FIREdevil.gif

....I notice you'll be replacing your nice M3 - You may need Milltek Non-resonated exhaust on your GTI as a driving aid, especially if DSG. The Standard GTI is relatively quiet. See other threads on Millteks (and I have no financial interest in promoting Millteks whatsoever!).

My Nice M3 is almost 4yrs old - so I now fancy a change. I plan on fitting a full turbo back exhaust system either from Milltek or Supersprint when I get her, also fancy Eibach springs, BBS CH's and software - not sure which yet. The car I've ordered will be manual, as I've been driving both DSG and SMG for the last 3 and a bit years and fancy a bit of heel and toe action again.

I love Caterhams, and have wanted one for years! The M3 is an expensive car to own and run. I worked out that I could own and run both the GTI and 2nd hand Caterham for less money than the M3 over 3 years.

VAG cars don't have dump valves, they have Diverter Valves. The forge otem is better then the VAG one as the VAG ones tend to crack and leak.

You drive a Golf GTi, you don't need some whooosh-pop MaxP type dump valve.

In terms of performance, you won't get any more outa of teh Forge item, only longevity and a better quality product.
