Yipeee :D Bit's arrived from Forge today :funk:
I ordered a meter of reinforced silicon tubing, http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=0022SH&product=FMSH-08
I used about 700mm of the tube and ran it down the tip and back up the side of the DV, over the top of the engine and then onto the charge pipe. It's a pretty easy job and only took and 45 min's.

Old pipe and off cut of the new pipe

The old pipe and split around and along the top of the pipe where it joined the charge pipe
