[Biturbos4] testing the turbo bypass valve(s)

[j y]

I purchased my Strat DVs 2 yrs ago - ppl weren't talking about 710s then. Forge & Bailey DVs were the big thing - for - yes - about $125 - $150. If I had 2 do it again - I would have gotten 710s.

TT replacements work as good, if not better than the stock ones, especially on Chipped vehicles, if your run a search on AW, the S4 forum, with the 710's in the search line, you'll find a lot of reading material.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Michael.

how well do the TT replacements work on chipped cars?
I have stratmosphere DVs - there is a noticeable difference btw them & stock - holding boost. I notice this on both my S4 and Porsche 951 (944 turbo). Both cars are chipped.

or just get the TT replacements, IIRC the 710's, IMHO, not worth it paying $150 more for Aftermarket ones...

bad bypass valves can cause turbo overspin.
if you plan on chipping the car - get "aftermkt" bypass valves - forge, bailey, etc..

What's the proper procedure for testing the bypass valves? Looks like 
mine are stock (and original judging by the "use-once" hose clamps). 
Would failure symptoms be obvious when driving the car? I understand 
they could fail where the don't fully close. Could they be the source of 
an intake leak?
