Hi.LCR does run recirulate valve,probably best to leave it as recirculate and swap it for forge or baily one,you dont get the big noise like atmospheric one but add induction kit with baily and you arnt far off,dog bone mount is lower mount and some people swap bushes/complete mount for uprated ones to help control engine movement under hard aceleration.Think imobiliser is thatcham approved.

The LCR alarm/immobiliser is listed as Thatcham Cat 1.

Its defo recirculating, dont put on an atmospheric dump valve as it would cause your management a whole load of problems. If you want dump valve sound then get the Forge split R, but they aint cheap and you gotta set it up properly.

As said above - there's loads of info on here if you do a quick search.

Basically - the car doesn't support a atmospheric dv - you'll need either an uprated recirc or the Splitter
