Default Fitting three port bleed valve to S2 ERST

I've decided to ditch the Amal valve and fit a lockable three port bleed valve in its place as the Amal valve was causing the boost to drop off rapidly and was also causing boost cut at random. I know for a fact it was the Amal valve as when I bypassed it and linked the actuator directly to the turbo it hits a rock solid 8psi base boost with no surges or drop off.

Question is, ok if you think of the bleed valve looking like a T shape, I know the return port at the bottom of the T goes to the airflow meter, and the two sides of the T go to the actuator and turbo repsectively, but which way round? What will be the symptoms of me installing it the wrong way round by accident?

Cheers guys

Dave
