That sounds like it would do damage, I have no idea, but wouldn't this build up allot of unwanted pressure?

No, the worst that would happen is a bit of compressor surge. Not healthy for the turbo in the long run, but as soon as it happens I'd know from the noise and stop boosting.
But if it leaks then surely that's gonna mess the fuelling and stuff up?
If it leaks it just won't make the boost it's supposed to, it'll just mean a loss of power, again not an issue and easy to sort.
If it sticks shut it'll just do what mine was doing at the RR. You know that pigeon noise... I think it was you who was asking how I did it?
It's just the air going back through the compressor.

You pay for the name with a lot of these products.It's not going to leak just because it is cheap.
Fuelling wont be affected it if leaks, it doesnt have a AFM.
That's what I was wondering, wasn't sure if the Teg had an AFM or not.
If not, then it's only gonna be down on power, better that than have the ECU chuck fuel in after a gear change I guess.
You can do one of three things:
1. Get the supplied flange welded to a charge pipe.
2. Get one of these adapters that just attach to a piece of samco like any other BOV.
3. Get one of these, it goes between two charge pipes with couplers.
I'm just going to take a charge pipe into work and get the supplied flange welded to it.

Don't need to hear things like that. la la la, not listening.......
who cares? when it fails fit a bigger one! dump valves sound so pony compared to chatter.
Looking forward to seeing this done. Impressed you'd take it on yourself, I'm afraid I'm much more of a chequebook mechanic
.
Be warned though guys... with the DV in place, trying to get the circlip on is a *******
One of the most PITA jobs ever!
Haven't really got any more done, I'm going to wait till my Golden Eagle head gasket arrives before I split the engine. I'm not working on it over the weekend either 
But here, have some more pics of parts for now:
Dumptube/screamer pipe:
RC eng. 650cc injectors:
Intercooler kit (it's bigger than it looks in this pic, and plenty big enough for my power goals):
And the 'main event', the turbo
:
That's most of the parts here now, still waiting on my catch-can, BOV, exhaust manifold and oilcooler/filter relocation kit. Oh, and the head gasket.

Whats the screamer pipe for? Looks like its to stop the turbo boosting too high?
