as the title, thought i knew what they were about but wondered if i'm missing something ?

GARETH T

what you wanna know about them,,, they are an electrically operated bleed valve

Phil

iTrader: (1)

An electronic solenoid valve that controls the air pressure acting on the actuator

Dan

So its basically something that regulates the boost supplied then? Do Cossie's have them as standard then Gareth?

GARETH T

yes mate cossies and rs turbos have them as standard

Dan

Cool, you learn something everyday don't you!

Dan

Next question then, if you fit an under bonnet bleed valve does this bypass the Amal valve!? lol

mine seems to have been disconnected on one side (air pipe) & the pipe sleeved down to leave a smaller hole & the other pipe is completely gone, i'm fairly sure that when i had it on the rollers at power engineering the guy said they were crap & did something with it then but i may be mistaken, so basically its now only got the electrical connection to it ??????

it depends how you connect it up.
1 Pipe from turbo to actuator with bleed valve on pipe=no amal valve.
2 As normal with amal valve connected with all 3 pipes but the pipe to the turbo cut and a blled valve fitted to this pipe

Personally i would just adjust the actuator and leave it
