Default Ramair Filter and Washer Bottle Neck

I have a large Ramair cone filter fitted on my Saph, when i fitted it i cut the filter to turbo hose shorter on the turbo end to stop the air filter touching the washer bottle filler neck.

Now i want to fit the standard recirculating dump valve, but now the pipework is obviously too short to mate up as it should.

Has anyone modified the washer filler neck?

Any other ideas? Had enough of the DV sound!

Thanks, Rich

You could always use cold side and pipe across.

Standard T3, just been rebuilt as it was pretty much dead, running standard boost.

Was running without a DV, but was told that this was partly the cause for the turbo damage....
