Reply With QuoteProbably a turbo diesel with dump valve becuase theyre arent any turbo'd stilos.
Didn't know that these exist, what engine size are they, price, BHP... etc etc..
A really nice one was right behind me in town dumping away with its extremely loud dumpvalve & is exhaust sounded amazing!!! This was as i was passing the printworks before midnight, it was bright yellow and de-badged!!!
I want one!!!!!!!!!!
reckon one of those engines would fit a punto??

it didn't sound like a diesel to me, and u can tell a turbo diesel dump valve from a normal diesel, as they run at much lower pressure, and exhausts never sound as loud as that on a TD!!!
This sounded sumwhat like a subaru or sumthing, possibly a coupe turbo conversion??
wrong. it's more likely to be a petrol turbo engine with a dv. just not standard.Originally Posted by PJMcD
dv's for deisels are extremely rarely come accross.
i know sum one with a DV on a TD escort, and it sounds like when u open a can of coke or sumthin everytime it dumps, too lower pressure, not worth doin it
That stilo was feckin loud and fast though!
I think i've seen it in town... big bean can exhaust on the back?
Didnt hear a d/v tho, but then again i cant hear much over my car
i'm sure it had a dump valve, unless by coincedence another car with a dump valve was right behind it or sumthin!
Its bright yellow, and has a square numberplate to the side like jap import's have!
Didn't notice the exhaust, i drove past it later though and noticed it was debadged at the back
i've seen loads of 306 TD with dump valveswrong. it's more likely to be a petrol turbo engine with a dv. just not standard.

1997 Fiat Punto GT Abarth - being restored
2014 Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake
306 TDs are regularly modified though, so some companys produce dumpvalves for them, though for my mate's escort TD he had to pay nearly £300 for a custom made one!
i know of two stilo jtd around the manchester area with dumpvalves both from negrente(sp?) racing in Italy. One is yellow has a powerflow and 17" chromes, and sounds like the car you saw and the other is a black-un.
Not heard about a turbo'd stilo around, but I'll ask around to see if anyones heard about one. Would be interesting to see it if it existed.
