Hi
Sorry to repost this query, but I think it's got a bit lost in the lengthy thread about correcting poor boost.
I've done the (in)famous 'bolt fix' and blocked off one of the lines going into the boost control valve. It's done the trick, but I'm keen to install some new check valves and restore things to stock. I know you can buy the whole tube from Saab but this will cost a fair bit and is overkill really.
I've read that some people have done this with home-made valves, but I'm not really up to this so was looking for some alternatives. The valve from what I've read could go in near the throttle body.
I've found this:

Would this do? Any potential pitfalls with using a valve like this in a vacuum system?
Also, if I needed some extra hose what sort of thing would I need? is there anything special about it or would any old rubber hose suffice?
I'd be grateful for pointers.
James
