I am puzzled at why the original metty set up had a 'Tee' on the compressor housing. I think one side went to actuator and the other to the ECU (see below):

I am fitting a manual bleed valve. Does the hose that went to the ECU go to the bleed valve and routeback to... Where? Leaving the actuator feed like this:

Or do I blank one side of the 'Tee' and break the feed to the actuator with the bleed vlave?

Was I correct that the 'other side of the tee fed the ECU in the metty originally?

Happy Birthday, by the way.
