It's the solenoid on the driver's side suspension turret..... Can't miss it, it has 3 tubes going into it and an electrical (2pin) connection.
edit: looks like half a smartie tube, vertically mounted...

Cool cheers dude I'll have a look tomorrow! Is that the thing with the tube that connects into the resonator box after the MAF sensor?

You don't really need to know about the BCS pipework, just look for the turbo nipple and wastegate actuator. The Dawes goes between these two, the pipes that you have to remove should be blocked off (or joined together if you wish). Job done!

After having a look tonight, theres 3 tubes that run to the suspension turret. I can see one pipe comes off the actuator and looks like the thickest of the 3. Is it this pipe that the Dawes is put into? Also, which end of the DD is the In side?

Where abouts on the turbo will I find the nipple in question as I can't see one (presuming it looks similar to a bleed nipple on a brake calliper?)

Any pics would really help!

Its on the turbo exit just before the IC pipework, it points towards the floor IIRC
