Hi Guys, Thanks for all the previous info you lot have giving me on my posts.
Next question is fitting a boost guage, how?
Do tou tap into the return pipe coming from the bleed valve to the actuator? Or do you take a pipe from the brass connection on the inlet side of the turbo?
I have noticed that on other turbo cars i have seen at the shows that one side of the brass connection is not used! What was the two brass adaptor originally used for? Thanks Guys i might get riund to posting some pics of the engine soon, see what you all think!

A boost gauge should be connected to the inlet manifold, this way you know the actual boost pressure the engine is getting.
The brass connection - One side usually goes to the ECU and the other to the actuator. If you have binned the ECU, then you can either put a bleed valve on this connection or block it.

Lets see some pictures !

Thanks Phill,
where do you take the T-off for the boost guage, i have a few inlet manifold connections such as the dump valve, and another one which would be the best to use?

Mine is on the same connection as the dump valve. Works ok.
