Im not the best person to advise you but i believe Courtenay have done dump valves for the VXR.

You should give them a call.

I have one on mine running with no issues wat is it your want to no

[jonkvxr]

Just wondering how you fit one as ive been told from another forum that it can affect air flow/pressure/performance. Is it an easy job to fit or would i have to get a mechanic to fit it?

VXRDave also has a DV and it works fine also running a CS2 map and every thing is ok.

[vxrdave]

hi yes i do have a DV fitted its fine not hard to fit you just have to make sure the vac trigger pipe is fitted in the right place .
