Default where does this hose go

Doing me rebuild at the moment and alomost complete but where does this hose go;


Is it either the long pipe with the bend in it or the thing behind the actuator that looks like a bleed nipple?

goes to the nipple on the turbo housing, (looks like the bleed nipple), its a bleed valve between your turbo and actuator to give some adjustment to boost (crude but fine if set up PROPERLY). If in any doubt, wind the bleed valve right in so it has no affect and let your tuner set it up if its needed.

Nice one thanks mate, might actually wind it in as it was setup by a tuner to run a bar on std intercooler which from what I know now is wrong cos my engine popped its clogs.
Whats the pipe with the bend in it for then?

Above/in front of the starter there is a vertical pipe with a bend in it to the left hand side.

the bent metal pipe is the one on the left here with red arrow, water pipe goes from there to rad (red arrow on right). Should have a few clips kicking about your parts box that go on to front panel and hold the water pipe in place.

Can I or should I wind in the bleed valve anyway so that I can run the engine in. It was set to 15psi on a std cooler which may be why engine shat itself but dunno?
Or should I leave it until my Airtec cooler arrives and gets fitted and just run it as is?

wind it in to under 10. 7psi is std and should be safer at that until its setup. if its a fresh engine it will appreciate a few easy miles to start with anyway.
