Default rover turbo inlet questions

I have rover turbo inlet bought from crazycage a time ago,
Now im trying to fit/install it, only im doubting about the idle valve

The rover one hasn't got one and the frst throttle body either

Can i run without one > or do you guys have a better option

The icv can be fitted to the n/a rover inlet quite easily by drilling a couple of suitable holes and drilling and tapping the fixing holes.
Not so sure on the turbo one as the plenum is a lot smaller.

some days have passed, but i does run fine without the idle valve.
Only when it's cold, the rpm is a bit high

Another question, which kind of gasket are you using between the head and the spacer plate ?
Mine is leaking some oil, i have used the Original ford one ( that thick zetec gasket )
