hi there. have been a st owner for just over a week now, she a 2008 st2, have spent all day fitting a bailey dv26 dumpvalve along with the supplied samco fitting kit, and no matter how hard i try i cannot get the silicone tube to mate up exactly where the standard tube fitted, we are talking 3/4 mm. after a test drive it feels like the turbo isnt pulling quite like before, i have checked all the fittings are tight, but still the power just seems a little off. also the whistle that is made by the turbo seems louder, not hugely but definately more noticable!!! can anyone offer any advice??? and yes im sure the die hards will advise i lose the dumpvalve. thank you all.

Sounds like you have a boost leak with the noise , as for fitting the hose its a real

i found to mate up right i had to chop mine on the side that goes on the charge pipe to the throttle body... i did use some silicone greese on the tube to get it on and position it eayser but if you do that make sure the jubies are really tight

I've heard of some people's cars making a really stupid noise after fitting a dump valve, perhaps this is your problem?

havent had any problems with mine since fitting it you shouldnt need to alter tte hose by cutting i wouldnt advise it if your struggling them seek some help before anything else
