I'm on the same track as mitchella, cos while mine was dismantled, I put my hand over the input pipe to the intercooler, while the turbo plenum was off, and it was about to stall. So the dump valve sounds like it, however I dont think it is designed to maximise air flow in that direction.
Now what is it about engines that we like to put our hands in places and see what happens??? My Dad did something similair on an air re-circulation heat exchanger unit...... and lost the end of his finger in a fan. Pretty stupid really...... yeh "like farther like son" before some one else mentions it!
