Default Dump Valve With Pressure Guage

Hello Lads and Ladettes

Asking for abit of advice, as im more of a "pay for someone else to do it" kind of guy because im not a Grease monkey and not ashamed to say i have limited car knowledge (and dont pretend i do) .
Want to get a dump valve/BOV fitted to my car to get abit of OOOOOSH, the current standard one is conected to a clear tube which runs into my car and i assume goes to the aftermarker pressure guage in my car.
When i buy a new dump valve, is it possible to connect the same tube etc, or is it going to cause problems, as i would still like the boost guage to work.
Also any advice on what make/model to go for?

My vehicle is a subaru impreza WRX sti UK type on a 54 plate.

Hope this makes sence

Matt

This is the one in the pic mate:

Just got to make sure you order the correct one (diamon or trangle fitment) I think yours will be Triangle, but double check first
They actually make them there, mine was freshly made while i was there and they fitted it too, its easy enough to fit though, 2 bolts and a bung, ive had mine off to clean
