im pretty sure the valve is the purge on the charcoal canister? i think the IAC valve is under the inlet manifold and its a different colour??

thanx

the plug is for the abs sensor, if your car doesn't have abs then leave it unplugged

the valve looks like the aircon idle up valve although you have it pointing the wrong way up


also are your intercooler pipes protected where they go through the bulkhead as your pic seems to show no protection and they will chafe against the hole in the bulkhead

cheers bud.

the pipes are not fixed yet, just in there for trial fit. i need to enlarge the holes a lil more.

The AC idle up valve... where does the pipes go that connect to it? does one go to the back of the inlet manifold? what about the other one? -think i remember it going to the charcoal canister ? which i no longer have, so i suppose i can just leave that one empty ??

the aircon idle up goes on the back of the inlet manifold and the small stub on the turbo-intercooler hard pipe ,just before the bov attachment on the pipe

Well it looks like Black Billies again then or Yellows. I think blacks come in about £500 from TCB and Yellows come in about £600 from Rogue.
