Default Weird hole in vacume t piece

on the vacume hoses from the turbo unit what then splits to the turbo charge pipe and dump valve theres a plastic t peice what has a hole right in the middle of it , Looks almost like someones heated up a pip and melted a hole in it ???

is this good , shat , or what it looks odd and more so tampered

Are you running a bleed valve?
As the pipes you mention shouldn't be going to the charge carrier, turbo should be going to amal valve, as should actuator. Dump valve should go to inlet manifold.

Actually from towards Horncastle, but i spent/spend alot of time in Lincoln, used to work at Halfords couple of years ago and one of me exs is from lincoln.

Think I know the red one you mean, looks ok, bodywork could do with a little attention but other that quite clean?

I've got a Mercury Grey Escort Bonus running cvh turbo that I've just swapped from my rotten black Erst, with oz superleggeras.

I know of a lad called Pat with an area 6 zvh powered mercury grey Rst round Lincoln way, you may have seen him about?
