yes you can, or alternatively you can run without any dump valve.

Coming from a VTA, DV'less seems smoother and more responsive on the gear change.
And with right induction mods it makes a wicked noise, which is a pleasing change from Psssssssssssss!

Once the FMIC is fitted, you will be having the map checked, won't you?

TD05s are pretty tough turbo's but I'd still be a bit wary of running without a dump valve. It can only increase the wear rate on the bearings. I'm running no DV on a 321T but that's a different ball game
