last week i decided it was time to remove my dump valve so instead of bodging the pipe i decided to order the VXT Samco hose kit. shopped around and Regal had them in the sale for £150 + Shipping so i ordered it (in blue) it arrived this morning, in black (oh well no big deal) minus the breather pipe to the rocker cover and with a dump valve fitting on it well done regal for well and truly fcuking my order up! needless to say i should have listened to all the complaints about regal, paid the extra £30 and ordered from Courtenay

Well I called them at 11:30, they said someone would phone me back straight away at 12:10 I called them again, explained to the same guy that still no phone call, he then tells me the guy I need to speak to has just come in the office, great oh hang on hes on the phone now, so i waited five mins, still on phone so hes phoning me back as soon as he gets off the phone (apparently) i make it 12:30 ish now i might just stick it in the post and get my money back - useless doodahs!

Just out of interest, why were you removing the dump valve? Annoyed with the noise? Losing power in some way?

[MikeF]

The noise is great, always puts a smile on my face but..... do a search on the forum and you will see, everybody recommends taking them off and im sure its the reason i have flatspots so off its coming

I'd very much doubt its the dump valve, I think all of them have flat spots on the factory map. Mine certainly does. the only time any perfromance drop off should be noticeable from the dump valve is after you take you foot off the throtle and put it back on agian...

ok i spoke to someone at regal, since they never called me back they said they are sending me the breather hose that is missing they also said that 'samco kits only come with dump valve fitting' - wrong - courtenay sell em without anyway hes sending me a breather pipe and a cap to close the dump valve pipe off the bit i dont get is how he knows where to send it nobody could be arsed to take my name/address my recomendation - dont use regal they suck!

Nothing to add to this thread - I just thought it would be better in the reviews section.

I called them the otherday, the bloke said I will get some bird to call you back, did she?, nope nothing, so I am going somewhere else Bye bye regal, no doubt they will go bust running a show like that

I had a Regal backbox that was missing a U pipe so I called them up and they made me one for £25 iirc It didn't fit though

No such luck, they've been round for years - but the bulk of their business is selling superchips to chavalier drivers, not catering for people who actually know what they're on about.

Courtenay will do you proud!

..on a side note I'm sure your flatspots aren't DV related, stock map is pretty lousy - mine was the same.

What does the kit replace the DV with? You can't just ditch it, needs to be something there.
