Re: [DMCForum] Slightly OT - DUMP VALVES

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marc

The wastegate is an integral part of _any_ turbo. The IHI RB52, for 
example, has a seperate wastegate that bypasses into the exhaust. The 
Garrett AiResearch T3 on my Renault engine has an integrated wastegate 
that's part of the exhaust turbine housing.

A dump valve is also called a "blow-off valve" - apparently this is what 
it's commonly called in the US. The Island kit can't make use of a dump 
valve becuase the turbos are downstream of the throttles, but the Legend 
engine could make do with one (or two).

I will chalenge you to a blind test, in studio conditions, between a set 
of quality speakers wired with monster cable, and the same setup using 
household 30A solid core cable (such as you have on an electric oven). 
And don't get me started on "directional" speaker cables. I'll say it 
this once: there is no such thing, nor can there ever be by the very 
nature of how power is transferred to a speaker
