Ahhhhh the POLO G40....I had one of those, stage 4`d from Jabba



Now the Dump valve on those came off the outlet of the G-Lader charger, but I remembered the lads at Jabba doing some checking , and it wasnt really worth the hassle and time of welding the thing on. I cant see the point of dumping to atmosphere with a charger if it makes no difference but a noise ??? PPPSSSSSSTTTTT ???

was the throttle body after the 'charger???? thats the only way that you could see boost on a closed throttle. this is a BAD way to design a supercharger system as the losses are much bigger!
