Ok.

Originally i had a 007p on the top of the TIP with the pipe running to the charge pipe. This was fitted with the base of the 007p into the TIP (Correct orientation).

I then got a split-R, which sat in the same place, but fitted in the opposite orientation-base port was into the charge pipe hose (Correct).

I then did the coldside relocation and the split-R base now sits in the TB-IC Hose, the side port returns to the TIP. (Correct).

NOW, im going back to the 007p. I want to sanity check that the 007p fits in the ORIGINAL orientation it always did. aka the opposite to the split-R and the base of the 007p will now sit back in the TIP in effect (the pipe returning air to the TIP).

So is the way i have shown the 007p in the same pic as split-r the right way to fit it back on??

p.s its been a while since ive used my brain

no i belive the pipe on the oo7 in the bottom picture that faces left is the one that goes onto the tip rik

 

[G2232]

it should fit the exact same way that it fit normally so yes opposite to split r
cos the boost (pressure) still needs to travel throught the valve in the same direction

if that makes sense

 

[RikH]

im about 95% sure im right.
it seems gary agree's

rob your just wrong mate.............dont you know anything!

here the confirmation

the bottom pic shows the bottom port goes to tip

 

[RobDon]

Doesn't matter which way round it goes, whichever way you feel works best on your car. Split-R must go one way due to the design of it.

The way you got the 007 in the photo is the 'normal' way round.

 

[RikH]

yeah, thought so.
Cheaaaaaaaaars all

 

[The MoffMeister]

see ner ner rik lol

 

[RikH]

i love to tease you rob

it does matter how you install one... one way boost pressure acts against the spring, and only spring pressure keeps the piston on the seat, and the other boost comes in behind the piston and helps seal it under boost.

boost pressure on 007P comes in on the side port, vents out of the bottom.
std green spring sealed piston to 22psi on side port when I tested one may many moons ago... and a whole lot less psi pressurising from the bottom port.

my advise.

i have fitted it when i came back this morning bill,

side port is in TB-IC hose and base in return pipe to TIP
so boost flowing in correct way.
feels alot smoother than my split-r, although im sure ill miss the whooshyness

fitted it this way as first pic, in top post

i think mine may be the wrong way round

i have the bottom port of my bailey dv30 going to the tb-ic hose (relocation kit) and the side port goes to the TIP

should i reverse it?

edit: actually, can't remember which way i've got it.

 

[RikH]

sounds like its the wrong way round mate yeah.
nip round tomorrow if you want, not seen you in ages
ill be at home, licking my wounds
