Default What connects here? MFI picture identification,this right?

can some helpful people help me finish plumbing in my RST conversion

i have these three small unions to connect up

the air hose to the actuator and the union on the turbo housing - both seen in this pic


and this pipe on the metering head



do they connect to the amal valve? i don't think i have one what does it look like.


could someone also have a look at these and check theres nothing glaringly obvious wrong

If you have no amal valve, block the one on the metering unit up and conect the actuator - compressor housing on the turbo, it will boost to whatever the actuator is set too so obviously you'll need to adjust the actuator to suit the boost you need!

get it on a RR when you get it running anyway imo

yeah will take it to an RR - should i connect the bleed valve inline with the actuator/turbo so i can manually set the boost limit?

thanks for your quick reply

tbh i'd leave the bleed valve off as it can only increase boost not lower it from what the actuator is set too.

the tuner will add it in if neceser, jus stick it in the glovy for him
