Default samco/dumpvalve fitting ?

Just got some samcos and a forge dumpvalve, the pipe that goes from the turbo to the airbox has a T coming off it and goes to a black bosh unit that is connected to the standard intercooler. My question is the samco hose has no T, it goes straight from the turbo to the airbox, so does this mean i take the pipe off the bosh unit and plug it into the dump valve and then blank off the left hand side off the intercooler and do away with the bosh unit . Hope this sought off makes sence cheers Rob

Yes it means you must therefore have a COLD SIDE dump valve position between the intercooler and throttle housing ?, for your new dump valve, this is the preffered way as it does not release HOT compressed air to go back into the airbox.

Yes you can buy ANODISED plugs to fill the gap, ebay might be worth a look ?
