The description has a link how to modify the valve for extra flow. I just cut out two bits of ali wider than the valve, put a 2mm hole in each corner. Then 3 6mm holes in the front for where the pipes go in. I was intending to put m2 bolts through each corner to hold it together but the ones i had were about 1mm too short.
Again i must stress the mod to the valve is really difficult and even with this change and a ton of silicone lubricant the RS valve is the better valve.
The piping looks good, just remember it won't be as flexable as the lego pipe.

I used to use a bike pump, however i am lazy and now use a large 12V power supply and a car tyre inflator. I haven't tried this but you can modify an old inner tube valve to take a 4mm OD 2.5mm ID tube. I have been using a robart one valve #168. However i have just found this but you will need to check the pressure rating:

When i had a play with pnuematics I built the none return valve into the tank using the old bicycle valve principle see:
