You can but apparently it's not advisable on the K03 hence one being fitted from the factory. You'd probably have to have a take off welded on the turbo outlet pipe somewhere that would allow you to run a pipe back to the DV when it's fitted to the TIP again. I'll see if Google throws up an image of what I mean...

yeah, theres defanitly a dumping/flutter sound so there is a dump valve somewhere, just no idea where hes relocated it too.

not sure wes, will have a look tomorrow.

If its a flutter sound the dv is stuck shut or it does not have one.

Yeah I can see al the pipes which I believe are the pipes which the Dv was connected too. Just didn't want to try put it on yesterday and somehow have another FB plumbed in somewhere. Which is why I didn't fit yesterday. Next weekend / during week I will get a pic of how I believe it should be plumbed in and see what you guys say.
