As intercoolers are known to leak would it be a good idea to put a bigger one on before there is a problem as I have the exhaust and chip fitted?

Take care of the boost spikes first then fit a bigger intercooler when it's convenient.

thanks for information will keep it in mind

OK on the intercooler.
Back to the boost problem so can the Dawes valve be fitted by a normal mechanic or does it have to be fitted by an expert? and should I get it dyna tuned?

[YNOT]

Dawes can be done DIY if you have basic mechanical knowledge. You would need to phone around to find a mechanic to do it for you, most will never have heard of a Dawes valve.
I set up my own dawes valve just by road testing and stopping to adjust it until I got it right.
