Just gone out to get some pictures but it started raining so I only managed a few. In addition the position of my diverter valve may differ from yours, I also notice you have had your n249 bypass done already so this will serve as a suitable guide.

Here is my n75 valve (it's a boost control solenoid and connects to: 1) the turbo intake pipe 2) the turbo actuator 3) the boost pipe)



Coming off the n75: top hose leads to the turbo actuator, left one leads to the charge pipe (as shown in the picture below)



Under the inlet manifold you will have two small nipples for vacuum, one goes to your diverter valve and one goes to your fuel pressure regulator (as pictured below)



Above picture shows the vacuum line going from the inlet manifold to the fuel pressure regulator



The above picture shows the other vacuum line from the inlet manifold going to the diverter valve.

That's a k03 based turbo, I'd say if it's a k04 then it'll have to a k04-001 , where are you?

rockymonkey loving all the polishing you've done

thanks for that. yeah bypass was done, thats pretty simple, thts all the pipes i need yeah , plus the ov that i t my boost guage in to one of the lines coming of the nipples yeah.

being as my wires were cut on the n75 valve and its not there, if i got scrappy and get one and the electrical connector ( ill snip it further down loom) i can just recrimp the wires plug it in and all will be good yeah?

also as i have no dv at the moment shall i run it without or fit the bailey atmospheric one i got... or is it better just without one.

going to replace all the vac pipes aswell and tidy the engine bay right up, get rid of all this ductape .

hopefully by end of tomoz you guys wont think its such a shed lol.... also the ad states car has a KO4 001 TURBO and tht is wat recipte  is for to.

[rageraver]

so i have a ko4 yeah

[rockmonkey69]

so i have a ko4 yeah

Your picture shows its either a k03 or k03s not a k04-022/023 also I'm fairly certain the k04-001 did not have a silencer on it's compressor housing as shown on your picture. It certainly looks suspicious unfortunately. Perhaps you should try to get in touch with the seller... especially if it was advertised as a k04

As for the t-piece for the boost gauge, tap in between the inlet manifold and the diverter valve.
You can just use any wire of the same gauge, solder or crimp to the plug to your n75 valve.
I personally would not recommend using atmospheric unless mapped for it, no diverter valve isn't good either on our small turbos.
