just checking if mine are right after i have put it back together
The pipe on the right side fits to a t-piece which splits off and goes to the actuator and turbo
and the pipe on the left goes to a nipple on my air filter pipe...
All help appreciated

I have to be very careful here as I like Martin and respect a lot of what he does but as a FRST amal only has 2 ports that is not quite correct ![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
I have to admit that I had to remind myself how the FRST one works .
All the Amal valve does on a FRST is switch from open to closed when the boost pressure gets to the preset limit , it is not like a cosworth one that switches from atmosphere to can at that point .
Pipe from snail housing has T piece in , one goes to actuator , the other goes up to the top port of the Amal valve with the wiring on the backward side of the valve , the bottom port goes to the inlet pipe .
Hope that explains it
