Is there any performance benefit to running the slow down valve befor the dump?, does it react the same either way?,Just asking cuz I was thinking about redoing my trunk and running it befor the dumps instead of after........

im not sure if there is a benefit. other than it slows the fluid down before the dump if the slowdown is before the dump. or it slows the fluid down after the dump if the slowdown is after the dump... me personaly my slowdown is after the dump on my back pumps.. no slowdown on my piston pump

HOW ABOUT HAVING THE SLOW DOWN AT THE DUMP ?

at the dump don't matter...........they talkin about on which side.


it can be right next to it, .....but which side of it???


I heard before the dump, so it takes the pressure off the dump when hoppin.....that initial spike of fluid... :dunno:



who knows how true that one is

Well if you are using a regular delta or Italian i would rather have the slow down before the dump. Now if your running a Adex it reely doesnt matter if you run a Slow Down or not!

:thumbsup: Slowdown B4 the dump helps protect the dump from pressure spikes. It also gives more accurate operation by allowing the dump to close faster because the oil flow gets restricted b4 the dump.. Like sik-9d1 said ..its more for regular dumps. I'm sure it helps some on adexes too tho ;)

I usually put the slow down before the dump so that the initial spike of fluid doesn't damage the dump and I don't use a slow down on pistons. But everyone here is different.
