hey guys.just wondering if someone can explain to me exactly what these do as im new to all this and i own a 3.0lt patrol and would like to do what ever it takes to protect my engine as well as get max performance out of it

it stops the turbo and engine management system from boost spikes by mechanical means

A lot of the guys here put this stuff in themselves. If your like me an know quite a bit about car mechanics and such, but dont really trust yourself, get your mechanic to install it.

Im absolutely no good with mechanic but managed to install the Dawes valve and Needle valve myself.
I really think once Dawes valve is done, you should do the needle vale also
