It all depends what type of dump valve you are getting and replacing. If you are fitting a dual venting DV (one that recirculates and vents to atmosphere), a vent to atmosphere only or a replacement for the OE which is recirc only.
Fitting the dual vent and recirconly is really plug and play. Connect the pipes that you disconnect from the old one to the right pipes on the new one. Only two but with a good size difference.
Fitting a vent to atmosphere only requires the blanking off of the recirc pipe from the original DV.
If you are sticking with the OE ecu you need to keep some air recirculating otherwise the fuelling will be up the creek as the ECU will see what air is being sucked in but cannot tell how much is being dumped so the fuelling will be rich.
Post some pic's of the DV fitted and the new one when you get it and better advise can be given.

You should be able to get a plug from Forge or Baileys mate.

What area are you from. If your not sure how to do it another member local could do it for you?
