Lovely!
I also had a brown clubman turbo...... But in a lot worse condition lol :)
Exactly the same colour though. However it is now black waiting to be rebuilt (I'll get round to it at some point!)

Asked on turbo minis?

[benjy_18]

Turbos don't actually produce any boost untill they are under load, so the dump valve won't do anything whilst your revving it up standing still. Take it for a drive and it will work fine then

[rikSTAR]

Dump valve should still work when you rev it, what boost is the turbo running?

[benjy_18]

Only if you hold it on high revs for a prolonged period, and the spring would have to be very weak.

[rikSTAR]

It wouldn't need to be held at revs for too long, yeah it will need a fair few revs to build up some boost pressure in the system but it will still work if the turbo is spooling/ boosting as it should
