A bit off topic....I am looking for the "ports" what or where do you buy them......? IS it a bleed screw or what do you call it?

Cool thanks....was searching for those but did know the correct name so couldn't find any.....you buy it at air compressor part shops or hydrolic shops?

Cool idea Mical...

i made one over the weekend, cos the t-piece under the turbo (positive pressure line to boost adjuster and waste gate) keeps melting...spares shops only sell plastic t-pieces for vacuum lines and at R14 a pop was getting expensive...

Speedbreeder....most air supply shops sells brass or steel T pieces as well as hydrolics places....just for future ref. if hydrolic places dont have they make some for around R15
