The one coming from the charge pipe mate undo ur oil cap as well and pull ur dip stick out

Sometimes the video don't load up in Firefox, try IE explorer.I must upload them to youtube.

Also this is your charge pipe with the big red arrow pointing at it.

[sten]

there is a lot of interest in these diy kits but not everyone can find all the parts required,(ME) cant someone who can source all the parts sell a kit in the for sale section?.

Just for information, the turbo seals are metal not rubber, and it would also help to make up a tester to fit at the TIP and test at a lower pressure 5psi ish and then you will cover a lot more pipework.
