you need a pipe like in the pic with a 1 way valve mine has 2 smaller pipes coming off this. 1 goes to the ecu and the other loops round to the 2 things on the airbox which you dont have so could be blanked off. there is a 90 degree piece of rubber hose that goes to the back of the manifold
looks like you have the fifth injector housing on the wrong way but i suppose you could link it up somehow
are you using the isv from a mk2?
also does your bonnet shut ok looks like it will be a bit close to your metering head
i put the mk2 metering head on a mk1 gti airbox and cut half the bottom section off and put 2 notches in that sit on the chassis leg seam
