First mini turbo to get in the 12's & site perv

Herefordshire

Take a pipe from the inlet manifold to the dumpvalve
Take a separate pipe from the inlet manifold to the boost gauge
Use the old vacuum advance take off on the carb to go to the megajolt

There should be a brass nipple on the turbo compressor housing for a boost signal.

Just take it down to a local hydraulic/pneumatic fitting place and get them to sort you out with a fitting for it

Has it got a grub bolt in it? Metro heads are like that sometimes. Have a look for an allen key shaped hole where the sender should be.
