Looking to put my car back to standard for insurance purposes

Need to find an air filter, catalytic convertor, and hoses to replace when I take out the recirc dumpvalve

Any ideas what parts are still available from ford or if anyone has some second hand parts

Should be able to get all the parts 2nd hand as the most common parts that people replace. You dont need any hoses as the car uses a standard recirc valve so i assume the uprated one you have is in the stock position.

Ps. i have my standard recirc valve sitting in my toolbox at work, your welcome to it if you come to pick it up smile

Running a sports cat
Found a standard cat and airbox to remove the GGR induction

It is currently running a bluefin which will be deactivated as soon as the other parts are removed

If you de install bluefin it won't leave the memory of your ecu that it had one. To be on the safe side may have to tell insurers
