Contact Harvey on here. He deals with front mounts and will stock what you need.

Other than that, depending on what turbo you have you could run without a dump valve like i do.

What turbo are you running?
Having run without a BOV on several cars in the past I would not advise running without a BOV and certainly won't do that on any of my own long term cars although it might be a short term solution.
With a Maffless ECU my choice is Forge VTA everytime. With a MAF sensor then the choice is the OE BOV with a flange adaptor if necessary or a Forge Recirc BOV.
Running without a BOV seems to be a bit of a fad at present but consider the purpose of the BOV and what happens when you do not run one.
The purpose of the BOV is to vent pressurised air between the turbo, through the intercooler and joining pipes and in to the inlet manifold when you lift your foot off the throttle. This is only a momentary pressure release on throttle lift off. If you do not have a BOV of some sort, when the throttle flap is shut the built up pressure will run backwards through the system to the turbo compressor. Over time this cannot be good for the turbo and on some fragile turbos, particularly those that are roller bearing it will be a bad thing.
The biggest advantage of running without a BOV has to be when the existing BOV is not properly set up or leaking. It is far better to get an efficient BOV than run without.

Just measure the size pipes you need, I can't remember them, sorry, and ebay is your friend.

You'll need an angled reducer for the take off from the hard pipe, I got mine from Hoseworld, reasonably priced and quick delivery. Quality is spot on too.

Or go to a scrap yard and pick up for very little money the original setup.
