I'd have thought some late model t5 owners should be along some time to give there advice.

Welcome to the forum :) As already stated, a dump valve is just a big nono on the later T5 lumps but you can fit a cone filter and remove the soundproofing from the bonnet as the recirc valve can be quite loud under full boost :D (have a look at a thread called "upgrade" in today's posts)
