Default boost hoses,

when using the amal valve in a s2, where does the turbo hose and act hose go to in the amal valve,top and middle? does it matter if they go in the wrong one?

and also can u use a bleed valve in the hose going to the amal valve from the actuator to control the boost

C to turbo housing
W to the actuator
R to the airbox

I wouldnt plumb them up wrongly!

I don't run a bleed valve so you'll have to BTTT this thread to get someone else to answer - but imho - you should just get a -31 actuator and new chip rather than 'fooling' the ECU with a bleedvalve.

if you plumb it up wrongly it will supply limitless (until the engine blows anyway ) boost!

i dont know what would happen if you put a bleed valve in line with the amal valve but i imagine it would mess it up cos the amal valve works in a sort of backward way

you can put a bleed vavle there yes but imo I wouldn't bother. When I had one on mine it did really seem to do anything & it run like a pile of shite.

but how can i run about 20 psi with out the bleed valve? is it just a case of screwing the actuator shorter?
