Pretty easy,

Fuel reg
Map sensor
Dumper
Boost gauge
Purge valve if still fitted from carbon canister.

The fuel reg and map sensor should be on there own lines, and un cut as they are engine critical.

I've got mine in bits and the Amal valve has 3 ports. One goes to the actuator. One goes to the turbo compressor housing and the 3rd goes to the ????

The Escort cosworth doesn't use an Amal valve,
The valve the escort uses is only 2 port, one going to the air box the other to the jetted tee piece

thanks guys.

ive seen kits that kind of lock on, are they worth having or a load of poo...

other than that just any vaccuum pipe will do i suppose, all the pipes have joiners!

there is one going in to the car aswell seems to be near the ECU? maybe thats going up to the boost guage.
