the filter feeds the turbo numb nuts, not the turbo feeding it

Cold air is sucked in by the turbo (its spinning using exhaust gasses, which turns the impeller to suck in air)

the air is the cooled through an IC (if it has one)..... THEN it should go into the TB

thats the normal way of things

as soon in the pic above, the pipe most proberly goes to an fmic.

the usaul pipe at the bottom of the turbo goes to the other side of the fmic.

but still dosent explain why it has a c20xe powercap or, xe airflow meter and inlet manifold most proberly.

a shit conversion as far as im concerned as why label it c20let when its not most proberly still using a c20xe loom.

Think what youve labelled dump valve in the picture is actually a coil.

that pipe that goes across looks like its attatcjed to the intake on the turbo.

dunno what its doing disappearing behind the bulkhead

But i reckon someones fucked up and the pipes then just go back onto the turbo outlet.

So, the turbo is just feeding the turbo

PMSL thats what my money is going on!
