Can an 8v turbo owner have a look in their engine bay please

Post by tyerz »

really struggling with a few bits and the more i read the more confused im getting, im not experienced with turbos and trying to work with what im reading on the net and failing.

so was wondering if anyone could have a look in there engine bay and check a few bits for me,
all my engine is plumbed in bar the vacuum/pressure pipes and what i need to know is where a few of these run to and from.

i need to run a pipe to the actuator and dont know where this is ran from, also the dump valve pipe, and also the pipe for the ecu, if someone could give clear instructions or even better draw me a picture it would be most appreciated as im totally lost, i currently have non of these pipes in and dont have a clue on what goes where so if this could be made as clear as possible it would be very mucch appreciated

many thanks chris
