Why waste your money and limit boost with such a device?
Max Boost levels can be controlled by tunes. (reflashing the ECM)

hello all, I read on another site about fitting a Dawes Valve to a late model Liberty. Anybody here have any info. on this? Is it an advantage or a sales pitch? Thanks Peter |

What is a Dawes valve and why would you need one? |

I did google it and it didn’t really answer the “why” part. Seems to me that under certain conditions it could set a underboost code. Again, why would you want this? |

Do our motors never go into overboost situations , if they do where do they bleed off to? |

IF for some reason the boost were to get to high and boost pressure exceeds the upper readable range of the MAP sensor, the ECM will place the engine in a "limp" mode. And it works as a protection when a sensor gets too far out of range in the fueling circuit. |
