Would it be possible to find a place for a dump valve in here?

a dump valve can be T'd in, you want it as near to the throttle body as possible. I also forgot you need a 19mm port welding in by the throttle body to connect the pipe for the idle control valve

No need to weld a 19mm port with the home made R I P.

Although the alloy ones look nice
