The AEI unit piope goes to the small fitting on the inlet manifold just above the 2 one-way valves, make sure it goes to that one and that one only ;)

You can get rid of the pipe that goes to the accelerator pump jet, works fine without but some choose to leave it on.

The other pipe is for your standard boost gauge, if you choose not to use it remove the pipe and block the outlet off. Best way of doing this is fitting a normal T-piece in place of the double T-piece

If you look down on the bulkhead where the speedo cable feeds through you'll see a pip next to it which it connect too. Make sure its a tight fit, you don't want a leak there
