Easy 1 mate,find an old fiat tempra,lancia delta 1600tc turbo,lancia dedra1600,1800 or 2.0,fiat tipo 2.0,fiat croma 1600.
They all have the same injection system fitted(Weber/iaw) and the valves are all the same.
I fitted a spare valve that i got off a lancia dedra 1600tc and fitted it on my Vw corrado T.16v that i retro fitted with Pectal super 8 injection from a sierra cos. built by GGR and mine works perfectly,although it's a bit noisy.
The difficult bit might be finding the Italian motors in England,over here in Rome they are 2 a penny in scrappys.
1 other thing which amazes me is the Cosworth rs500 fuel regulaters that are sooo rare now,on eBay they go for 100+squids when all you have to do is get 1 off 1 of the above mentioned motors and drill a hole opposite the fuel return,add a spare fuel barb and bobs your uncle, you have a regulater that supports 8 injectors for which you payed peanuts.
Same goes for the idle valves,40,maybe 50 quid used 'cos people THINK that their Cosworth specific items...,demanding big money.

You could always just not use one, as loads do this as well, without any problems.

Seen new ones on beegay for around £50-£60, got sick of cleaning mine so just don't use it now, a lot though can be rescued as said worth a go, won't work with all, put mine in me ultrasonic cleaner(£20 lidl) but no joy.
