OEM 3 ports are as good as any. Fiestaboy had a few for sale, Harvey often has a couple as well. I bought mine new as an OEM item from Bob Rawle (BR Developments) when he mapped the car. The three port has to be fitted at the same time as mapping so it made sense for the mapper to supply and fit

You can probably get one from the for sale section on here,or failing that ebay,they normally go for £25 -£40 :

Another +1 for Bob Rawle. He also fitted mine when he mapped my car last. Benefits are better and more precise boost control, as above.
