High 300s will mean a different turbo I should think, so make sure you order hoses to fit the new turbo you are fitting not the piddly little t3 if its still standard turbo at the moment.

dont need it with that spec; i run a 360bhp 2wd cossie without a dump valve; i just have a cone filter for the chatter (although i am getting a bit bord of the noise)

if your hoping for over 330bhp order the hoses to fit a t34, t3 wont make over 320-330bhp

i would personally run a dump valve if you don't want the noise then use a recirculating one.
