When I'm looking at the subframe there's the tie bars, what bars are on the other side? they all look pretty shot

Cheers


do you mean the rear trailing arms? a long tube type bar with bushes on each end?

On the rev 2. Frame
The bar over the top - arb
Closest to the camera - tie bars?
Ones obscured by the frame & poking out - trailing arms?

Always a big debate here, so i'm sure they'll be lots of differing opinions.

If you go "by the book", i.e.what works best from a mechanical theory point of view, any engine using an AFM for fueling should never have metered air vented to atmosphere. The OEM recirc. dump valve is a high quality piece of kit. End of.

However, the "hey everybody, i've got a turbo" dump valve noise is important to many owners, and they fit them because they like them. Your choice entirely.

There are no adjustments to make after fitting one.
