I know it plumbs into the vacuum line, but how so? Pictures or a funky diagram would benifit me also others looking at fitting one in the near future?

Find the pipe that goes from the actuator to the turbo and connect the small bit inline

connect that to the bigger bit you have in the car and run a little pipe back into engine bay as this will chuck fumes out so best not to have it in car.

Its sumat like this anyway.
The arrow on the small bit is confusing me though so maybe those two (turbo and to big bit in car)are swapped around but i recon that looks right unless anyone else can shed some extra light on it.

Its an ebay rip off of a turbosmart controller. An I reckon you can do away with the t piece all together.

Be aware the cheap ones are known to be quite sensitive and like to bleed off too much

You guys are legends, so by looking at the pic's and as 30psi says, i could lose the t-piece?

Dont see how can you loose the t-piece when the big bit aint got a third bit to bleed off with:confused:

30psi 04-12-2007 07:47

Bleed was the wrong thing to say. Its a ball and spring jobby I'm assuming. Best get it open and see, but yeah otherwise you need that.

yea the cheep controllers are seen as bleed valves and can be very prone to spiking in the boost and i ran one of the apex performance manual ones for i while and they come highly recomended. I would agree with you 30psi as to ditch off the t-piece. Every manual one i have seen only has 2 ports... in and out which you just put inline on the pipe that goes on to the actuator

Best get it apart, if its a bleed valve then you will need the t piece, if its a ball and spring job it won't
