Default amal valve

just wondering where to put this?? just been rebuilding my saph and not sure where this goes...

also im getting a bleed valve does that mean i can get rid of the amal valve or do i need to keep it?

a pic of a 2wd saph engine bay would be very handy!

thanks
raz

Ah right in that case you'll need to buy a bracket that bolts to the slam panel m8,as for the pipes type in "amal" into the search facility and it'll show you what pipe goes where m8.

Amal valve is at the front in the middle. Mine is held on with a tie wrap I think. Directly in front of the left hand cam pulley in this pic:


And pictured here. I think mine sits on the intercooler.

C = Compressor/turbo
W = Wastegate/actuator
R = Return/air filter, though this one can easily be left off with no problems.
If going stage three or above will most likely need to drill out, or remove RESTRICTOR in end of amal valve pipe.
I just srewed a wood screw into mine and it popped out easy enough.
