Default Amal Valve

What would happen if the hose that goes to the turbo from the Amal valve was plumbed to the actuator and vice versa?

I cant rememebr which way round they go and I cant see any leters on my Amal valve (C, W, or R).

Is it the top hose that goes to the turbo or the middle one? (bottom one is still plumbed to the metering unit)

Thanks!

If you connect hoses wrong, boost will be same as amal valve is fault. about 0.3 bar or 4 psi.

I have two rs turbos and both of then have wrong connected hose on amal valve. and both cars boost 0.3 bar. when I recconect amal like on photo, boost is normal.

I mean, hose which must go from turbo to "C" on amal valve, ex owner connect it to W.

Karlos: If I am you, will get one amal from friend just to try, because maybe someone "work" on your valve and maybe valve dont do they work...
