Ain't that purty.  Yes, that's the big fitting that connects the big
hoses and incorporates a bleed valve on the 1.9l.  There's also an
H-shaped fitting back by the pressure bottle that is NLA and tends to
abruptly fail.

Note that there's no essential reason for the two connectors to be
hooked together.  A clever person could probably do pretty well with
some hose barbs and an aquarium bubbler valve or similar.

The tower you mention I suspect is the manifold located forward of
the firewall on the right side on the 2.1l system.

Yours,
David
