You'll only get the best from that mod if you raise the back of your bonnet up my 2ft and 5inches.

That pipe would be better used to supply a Boost feed to the Amal Valve/Boost Controller/Bleed Valve instead of the one on the Compressor Scroll IMO.

Why not connect that boost pipe to some valves on the bonnet lifters so as the boost goes up so does the bonnet

When Colin saw this on my old RST he said "Whats this? Do you WANT your car to blow up?"

People are getting mixed up, the original "fume mod" that appeared in Performance Ford was where petrol fumes were re circulated into the crossover/inlet to supposedly enrich the mixture. The "fuel mod" was using the pressure from the intake to press against the fuel regulator and the one in the pic above is to help stop boost drop by attaching it to the actuator. The one on Ebay is being used for the "fuel mod" and not the "fume mod" as I thought earlier

Not sure about that thing on ebay, but as per Alex, the 'fuel mod' that Ahmed, Mark and a few others use, DOES work as it's meant to.

But like I say, most people don't understand how it's supposed to work (or when ), therefore say it can't work.

i dont know what its actually for i leave that bit to ava
as said in a previous post by me theres 2 reasons why the vac pipe goes to crossover pipe 1 is the fume mod thingy and the other is like mine goin to the amal valve,which youve pointed out as being for pressure drop
i also do have a fuel mod but that was done on the fuel ecu and metering head
