has anyone got a good picture or diagram of what vacuum pipes should be disconnected/blanked off/had the bleeder put in???

mines got a bleed valve installedand at the moment its setup like this:-


- Bleed valve is connected in a hose between the turbo and the actuator.

- Hose off the metering head is blanked off.

- No hoses from the 2 amal valve ports

- No hose coming off what 'looks' like some sort of fuel pressure regulator.




Is the above all ok? Just wanted to check.
