It's coming off the charge pipe I think, it's just he has also removed the pipe that goes from the charge pipe to the recirc valve

That's my recirc valve before it was fitted correctly (The guy had It installed as atmospheric too)

You're missing that pipe that mine is connected to, then the recirc valve goes just behind that round looking thing, that's just above my valve (if you look closely you can see the bung, where it is meant to go. You need to remove that then put the recirc valve in there.)
