Default Amal Valve

Does anybody know how the amal valve pipes up on a fiesta turbo? The haynes manual shows nothing, it says "fitting reversal of removal" BUT IT WASN'T THERE BEFORE!!!!! LOL. Or anybody with a fiesta turbo could have a quick look and get back would be great, Cant seem to find any info on the net anywhere

Pipe to the compressor housing, pipe to the actuator. Thats it, wastes to atmosphere as the FRST doesn't have an air dependant system.
