i fitted my new fuel pump earlia , and the pump that was in there already was a walbro ? they dont come standard with them do they ? i didnt get any pics as im not the smallest person in the world and its a bit crampd when sitting in the back of the car lol

what 1 of these plugs is the idle air control valve ? is it the top one ?


and on the rocker cover the 2 breather pipes that are on there , with the bigger breather pipe the 2nd one in , was that the breather that went to the standard turbo ? if so what do i need to do with that pipe now ? oil catch tank ?


fitted fuel pressure regulator , didnt have any torqe sockets with me so i couldnt fit the adaptor plate
