You can get the pack of 4 for about £16 I think, it's good to play around with different settings, I found the red spring worked best for me

The second link I think http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/con...roduct=FMDVTUN

As there is a link to a spring tunng product on the third link you have provided showing which DV you have, if you're not sure best to contact forge they will sort it for you

Depends which turbo you have,but you can drive without the DV,just fit there bung(where has been DV) and block silicone pipe for DV.

ohh i see
i only have one pipe going to my dumpvalve and then the vacum pipe ,so i just have to remove the DV and block the pipe?
would i have any problems or could it damage the car in anyway?

and the turbo is upgraded, it was boosting to 20 psi and overboosting was happening so i had to fit a manual boost controller to turn it down untill i get it mapped, so i turned it down to 17

Really if you don't know which turbo you have don't do this,because older VF are too fragile and will blown without the DV on longer run.
Newer VF or TD05(even TD04) are OK if you want run without the DV,really depends which turbo you have..

Not sure matey,but this turbo i think is VF22 and on this turbo i don't recommend run DVless(or without the DV)

This turbo is good from some reports for around 320-350bhp with supported mods.
