On my V3 all of the vacuum hose was the reinforced type and I had a nightmare trying to refit it.

In the end I gave up and got myself some silicone hose and replaced it.

What model and year?
Is there no unused nipple on top of the inlet manifold, front n/s?

You could use that one. But as above check for a spare nipple. Personally id rather use the dump valve vac pipe

no spare nipple on this one.

Ive been told to avoid the dump valve pipe as it can give strange spikey readings?

confused now.

Just 'T' into the small vac pipe on your recirc valve and hide the pipe work under the intercooler

All my scoobs have been done this way with no issues what so ever.
