B needs to be bloked off, and your boost controller goes in between the actuator on the turbo and the intercooler pipe so in your case in the middle of the line that connects C to the turbo and make surre you connect the boost controller the right way around.

As for A i dont see a A in your pic

'A' Charcoal Canister

'B' Would have gone to you old boost controller solenoid, can be blocked.

Don't leave 'C' disconnected, it goes to the power steering air valve...I was getting confused as that is actually your top-pipe, looks like you've used it as your bottom pipe???? You can T this one also to feed the turbo actuator.

I can see A now stupid phone pic was to small and as other guy said that goes to your charcoal canister. You said something about your boost gauge thats line is on the other side of the engine at the back of the intake manifold.

    • If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.
    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
