I do like the hks valves, but then again you got the problem with the air circulation!

Its all about the forge splitR valve  :cool:

Just a thought mate you might want to get some silicone hose for the vacuum pipe on top of the dv.When you remove the old stuff im sure you will find that it has gone brittle from years of being heated and cooled under the bonnet. Think mine cost me about £4 for 4m IIRC.  :wink:

I have heard that the silicone hose kits off ebay (zen racing) are quite good, know a few people that are using them - half the price of samco's and identical apparently
