Do you use high low boost atol?

I've been told we don't need it in this country as it's for bad conditions in japan.

I'm not sure how the boost is controlled I.e ecu or something else.

The pipes I think you mean to through a actuator type solenoid switch on the o/s front of the engine bay next to the abs unit,

You can just bypass the switch thing and I'm sure it gives you .8 bar constant ,

Some one can correct me if wrong

Hope this helps

i stick it on low boost to stop myself losing my lience sometimes lol not too bothered on loosing it but im not sure where to connect the vacum pipes to bypass it and where to put the vacum pipe that went to the efi unit cheerz for the info but

The vacuum pipe that comes from the efi pipe and into the actuator thing just goes straight over and onto the little metal pipe that is used for the pipe coming out of the actuator.

The two holes on the actuator thing are just joined together by the remaining hose

yea its all controlled by the solenoid... i run mine with it bypassed which then gives you full boost in 1st and 2nd.. Be wary though as with mine now bypassed i can hit fuel cut when its cold outside and i have minimum engine mods.

right went and had a look i have a bleed valve fitted (by last owner) i have a hose coming from actuator to bleed vavle to top of turbo ( i think dont have a light) i then have the three pipes running over the timing cover

the vac pipe that went to the efi pipe is just swinging about but there is the vac hose coming from side of actuator to the three pipes that go to the solenoid where does that one go

sorry about the shit explination tired and annoyed lol
