bleed valve connections??
Turbo Mini Forums

my bleedvalve has two small outlets on it at right angles to body of valve to presumeably bleed the air out....are these meant to be connected to anything????

As far as im aware you are meant to connect these 2 to the actuator hose (ie from actuator-to bleed valve- from bleed valve- to union on turbo) And the centre one is the outlet where the air bleeds off. I have a T-piece in the actuator hose so im only using 1 of the bleed valve inlets with the other 1 blocked. Seems to work fine.

forgot to say...its already connected between actuator and compressor outlet through a connection in the bottom of valve....it has two extra connections coming out at right angles on the bleed valve. its screwed right in until i get it properly set up but thought that if these need to be plumbed in somewhere,i can do it before its set up to save time
