Been on here a while now and having done 2 little projects on 2 corsa b and always wanting more power bought this little gem . Astra sri - turbo mk4 in silver 82000 miles completly standard apart from the horrible rear lights and a courtney inlet pipe and dump valve few things need doing but all in all a tidy car time for some pictures

So i bought the car and the dump valve never really sounded real so just left it thinking it was just the type of d/v fitted and that the car hasnt got loads of boost , until CharlesH mentioned to me if my recirculation valve was blanked and it wasnted so was trying to put air back in and try and dump it at the same time , so bought a forge blank off and will be fitting it on saturday , hopefully should sound abit better and actually dump air out

Been driving it a few months now and never had a standard exhaust system before and hated having one so bought a scorpion 2.5 inch CAT-BACK system sounds much better but will be getting a pre-cat for it soon

Did blanking off the recirc produce the result you were after?
