Tinkered around a bit tonight, rotated the comp housing of the turbo, started running and hiding some of the wiring and generally just tidying everything up.
Because i'm not utilising the BBM butterflies anymore, i've done away with the VSV and the tubing for it too. Just wondering what the little blue 'thing' is and is it an important part of the system? I have reduced those small black tubes down to two, to keep everything neat, hope it all works properly. Hiding this lot isn't going to be easy |

Looking good mate.
The unknown vacuum line in your first pic are for your cruise control. |

The blue item is the vacuum check valve so you don't bleed vacuum when at WOT.

Unfortunately i don't have it anymore god i miss cruise control. {USERNAME} wrote: The blue item is the vacuum check valve so you don't bleed vacuum when at WOT. So would i have to connect this to the rubbery line heading into the cabin? I'm pretty sure that one goes to the vaccuum ball in the drivers side wheel arch. But what about when the engine is boosted, i'll still need it then won't i? |

I think the little thin black on is for the climate control. From what I remember it was the one that had me stumped. It runs right up to the CC unit. The other one.... no idea sorry.

One is for the Vacuum Canister in the guard
one is for the BBM solenoid one is for the heaterbox controls (heater tap etc)

Man that engine bay came up looking like a million bucks, real tidy. Cant wait to see everything back together.
Nice work |

Don't forget you will need a vac line for a boost gauge.

Even if i do put in the check valve, the second line into the climate control isn't going to be protected against boost, will this be a problem? Also, the PCV line from the rocker cover is plumbed back into the inlet manifold underneath the throttle, the other rocker cover breather goes into the intake side of the turbo, correct? ALSO (and lastly) the fuel vapour canister, will that be okay plumbed into the intake manifold still? I appreciate all the help lads, i guess there is still much to learn. |

Okay, very cool! Thanks for clearing that up. I forgot about the solenoid for the fuel vapour canister, i've left it unplugged (and has been for months on end) as it clicks quite rapidly, not sure if it's a faulty or if it's something to do with BPT's wiring. Think i'll just leave it be. {USERNAME} wrote: Sorry to lead you a stray on that line, my bad Any more progress today mate? Haha, nah that's all good. Not much progress today, i had to order in a banjo bolt for the turbo coolant return line, it turned up today (from the east) but it's the wrong size doh! All i did today was paint the ECM bracket. A day at a time lol. |
