hey guys i got my bleed valve, boost valve wateva u wanna call it....
where do i install it...

this is how my setup thing looks....
it aint the best drawing but i hope it helps.....

where do i hack into to install the bleed valve ???

as u see, a hose comes from the wastegate, then runs to a tee piece which connects to the intercooler pipe, then continues on to the wastegate actuator. then a different hose from the wastegate actuator runs to the airbox/ air cleaner setup.....

I would seriously pm Rockabilly before upping the boost too far. He has found the limit of the std auto trans far too many times.

ye i have heard from ppl the dramas wit the auto. I know that the main killer in these cars is the launch and take off.....provided i take it easy with that and take that into consideration it should be ok.....i rarely drive like an idiot....my main reason for upping the boost is purely for the sake of knowin that i have power there if i need to use it :)

wat other dramas did he have wit it ??

also is that how i install the bleed valve ???

cheers :)

thanx for da concern bro :D

other way around

the vertical bit is for "in"
and the one coming off the side is going towards the wastegate actuator





the 'wastegate actuator' in your diagram is the boost control solenoid

I think it's dropping off because the turbo is so small it can't hold the boost for that long

Check with Rockabilly but I believe it was the 2nd gear band that kept breaking not 1st gear.
