Welcome and congrats on the purchase of your wagon/scoob 
No
history? 
....mate, I'd would get a service done asap unless you are sure one was done when you bought it. Otherwise you have no 
idea how it's been looked after - don't look after scoobs, thrash em and they go pop!

As above, get it serviced asap. Whats the milage on it, If its pretty high then get the cambelt change since you dont have any idea when it was last changed

Welcome to SN
If it has no service history, get a service done asap, would suggest you get the cambelt changed as part of it too! Oil changes and cambelt swaps need to be done on time, or it could cost you an engine.
Leave the dump valve well alone: the std one is best for a std car.
Also, without wanting to be patronising, you do know that you need to allow the car time to warm up properly before using boost and not switch it off straight after a period of hard driving don't you? Many new owners treat these cars like the runabouts the've often upgraded from, and get to regret it quite quickly!
They are very reliable cars if properly looked after and driven, but they don't tolerate abuse/neglect well and will punish any such behaviour with BIG bills
Tell us whereabouts you are and we'll point you in the direction of a good specialist.

What about contacting the last owner (see the v5) and asking them what they had done, if they've got any paperwork etc?
