Where the hell is this t piece From

[CJK]

Found this down under the distributer area,not connected to anything ,2 open pipes.I have a turbo that very lamely boosts only to 8 psi ,couple of threads elsewhere :rotf:
Tried to draw where the pipes go,T piece two open ends !! the drawn in pipe 'A' is a wee tiny pipe that goes up and under the distributer & round down between the bulkhead and heads, the other marked 'B' has a 3/4 inch cylindrical thing(tried to draw it!) obscured by my finger and another pipe attached to that is a long one which goes around the inner o/s wing an dissappears under the battery tray!

any help mucho appreciated,
Col

that's from you vavuum system, it's really time for you to replace the old hoses and stuff with new ones,
you now have a vacuum leak, and does your cruisecontrol still work?

drives side, it also has a vacuum hose on it, follow that one down, and i think you will find your problem at the end of the line

The cruise control system has a big canister valve on the drivers side with a large vacuum line and a small vacuum line running to it. The small on can be taken off all the way back at the manifold (where the T is by the distributor) The large line runs through the firewall to the brake release valve... I just cut it at the firewall and plugged it. There is also a pile of wires and the control cable you can dump too

Those are the original vacuum lines, I would replace all of the original vacuum lines before you go WOT again.

Quick update,re connected 3 vacuum lines(new silicone hoses on order :tup: ),changed plug wires...whilst doing this checked plugs ,Ur5's in good condtion also found one plug in only on a couple of threads :tdown: no wonder it was going like a bag of shit.Soon as I fired her up I knew it was going to be better ...nice growl going on :rotf: and sure enough it went 100 times better ,boosting fine . Got a kool blue panel filter to go in tomorrow so hopefully feel a further improvement(the one thats in is well clogged up),once the new vacuum lines are fitted its time for the handling to get some attention.
