Default Fiesta Turbo Amal Help!

My friends just got a nice little fiesta turbo - however its running on actuator only pressure.

The amal has two hoses one goes to nothing, the other has a T-piece to the air intake... which goes to where on the turbo/actuator? Can anyone let me know asap - just waiting to boost properly!

there should be a t piece in the black pipe that goes from the actuator to the compressor

the long end goes to the amalvalve

what boost does it run

it may have an aftermarket actuator on it

Cheers for the reply mike.

We worked it out from the web (i sort of knew.. but like to b very sure when its not my car). Its only running std pressure.

Amal seems to do nothing however, so hes bleeding off to 9psi till he gets a new 1

9 psi is a bit too much for a car that has not been chipped

i'd recommned a 165 chip and set it to 12/14 psi


i sell frst chips - PM if you need more info
