more info from Avi and Scott, RE: Bypass valve orientation?

["Avi Meron" <avi@cosmoslink.net>]

You should be able to get the Bosch valve for $30-40 in most places that
sell Bosch, look for it in European car magazine, see post below from Scott
Avi
"According to the cut-away diagram in the Audi factory service training
booklet, "The New 20V Turbo engine for the Audi 200 Quattro" the Turbo
Bypass valve is shown connected  to the Turbo outlet (boost) using the
side outlet which is perpendicular (90 degrees) to the small vacuum
connection. The diagram shows that the boost pressure "should" help keep
the valve closed. The fitting straight across from the small vacuum
fitting should be connected to the turbo inlet (suction). The  spring
inside the Bypass valve is shown to hold the valve closed against the
suction side.

Do you know if the Bosch 0 280 142 102 valve you are using has the
fittings arranged the same way as the stock 1991 200TQ 20V Turbo valve?
(0 280 142 106 I think)"
