Shouldn't be too hard to re-use the OEM re-circ. You may need to get an adaptor, which I think Harvey sells.
I'm using the OEM one on mine.

Have you got a pic of your OEM dump valve?
Yeah, you could remove all the associated water spray kit. I would keep it in case you put the car back to standard though.

Yeah the OEM one on a v.4 (and v.3) is black plastic, with the inlet and outlet at right angles to each other. You can reuse it.
You need a suitable bit of silicone to recirc it back to the recirc port on the turbo intake hose (if it's not already fitted). Also, don't forget the small 3-4mm vac hose that goes form the top of the DV to the inlet manifold...

Yeah, most FMIC's allow the cone (and/or MAF/intake pipe) to run OVER the pipe. The Hybrid GT Spec and Spec2 does, for example.
But my Hyperflow one only allows the filter underneath - so it's quite a small filter (but good enough for big(ish) power, so not an issue).

You'll need a suitable reducer to connect the dump valve to the FMIC pipe.
That's how mine is plumbed in, yours will be slightly different though.

sorry joz , i was actually refering to my tmic,but as above im hoping the fmic pipe comes with a reducer or similar,as it certainly has an outlet for the recirc valve at the top of the pipe(just before it goes to the throttle body) so im hopeing it will fit.ill have to wait and see.

All you need to do is measure the outer diameters of the DV's inlet port and the FMIC's DV port. Then get a suitable reducer silicone with the correct inner diameters. There're loads on eBay in all different shapes/sizes...

its the v4 and has a right angled outlet port on it which a pipe connects to(the recirc valve being in the other end of the pipe)
will my motor be ok to drive approx 140 miles with a fmic and induction kit fitted so i can get it mapped?

Yes, just don't use any boost. Drive normally with minimal throttle to get up to speed.
I'd bend harvey's ear when fitting it if you have probs. He's very helpful in that regard - plus he's fitted hundreds of the damn things lol...
