    Welcome to the forum mate. A Baileys twin-piston or similar Forge seem to be favourite among the guys here. Your budget will determine which, as you'll also need the appropriate silicone top silicone boost tube with takeoff etc.

    If you're patient, you can pick up a 2nd-hand silicone tube with takeoff from the Car Parts For Sale section for £10-15 plus postage. Likewise a dump valve for anything from £25-£40, say, I haven't been keeping track. Or, have a rummage on eBay and post a link asking, if you're unsure about applicability.

    you dont need to change the top pipe you just fit a dump valve straight to where the standard pipe comes from that goes to the standard dump dump value

    You'd need to either cut a short section of the std. recirc. valve's supply tube and fit the DV there (might need another J-clip, or not) and run a longer vac. pipe to it, or fit it at the recirc. valve's input end and bung up the takeoff where the recirc. valve fits. This'll depend on how loud, externally, you want the dump to be heard.

    i have a piece of 25mm standard black silicone i can send you for £5 save butchering your recirc pipework which you might be able to sell for a few bucks with alot of people going back to standard.
