you can actually fit normal dump valves to td's but as said its doesnt give any perfomance advatages its just for the noise, as a friend of mine has fitted them to his mk6 transit just for the hell of it 
and I will be doing the same when I td my van

it needs a solenoid and a switch onto the throttle mechanism, and a vac pipe linked up (i forget what else).
you have to use a twin piston dump valve or it will sound like a knat farting.
if your engine is otherwise standard and sounds tractor-ish, and if your car looks blatently standard and diesel-esque, it will be daft. they sound good on a tuned up turbo-diesel with a beefy/burbley exhaust. dont be tempted to use a cheapo small dump valve.
the derv doctor will do you one but its about £200-300 supply and fit.
also you can rig up a switch on the dash, to the power to the throttle switch, then turn it off when you dont want it.
