When i had my car mapped by a very respected mapper he recommended a 3 port off an old classic. Not pretty but does the job very well. Cost £35

AS above classic 3 port.

or if you want something more. A Prodrive 3 port seem to be very good usually £95. made my Tactrix i think?

Iv just put one on mine ready for mapping & after a lot of research both RCM & Bob Rowle told me the original classic 3 port is unbeatable. A good used one will do the job but I shelled out on a new one as I'm jinxed when it comes to used parts & I don't want to screw up my mapping session.

It meters the boost more accurately so make's the mapper job easier to get perfect results i believe.
