First, it was the oil feed line, it came with a 1/8" NPT thread, but the oil housing used metric threads:

I got around this by tapping the old flare adapter with NPT threads

Then, there is the downpipe flange:

It's too small. No big deal, I can make one.

Finally, there is the turbo oil return hose, that is 3 inches too short:

This, I can't get around, I'll have to get another one the right length.


On to some other things:

Mounting the EGT probe:
Mounted in the wastegate blockoff plate

You can almost see it (look in the wastegate vacuum hose loop)

Another bad shot:

For the crankcase breather, I used an Aeroquip NPT adapter attached to the breather and secured it with a hose clamp. I have Aeroquip braided hose running from here to the breather (not yet installed)

And the fun stuff, turbo plumbing:

Tight fit, I'll have to go down (and not to the left)
<a href="http://johnbaas.dyndns.org/2point0/turbo_plumbing1.jpg"><img src="http://johnbaas.dyndns.org/2point0/turbo_plumbing1_lo.jpg"></a>

Where I'll be mounting the air filter (but not the intake manifold)
<a href="http://johnbaas.dyndns.org/2point0/turbo_plumbing2.jpg"><img src="http://johnbaas.dyndns.org/2point0/turbo_plumbing2_lo.jpg"></a>

Couple shots of the turbo inlet tubing (3")

<a href="http://johnbaas.dyndns.org/2point0/turbo_plumbing4.jpg"><img src="http://johnbaas.dyndns.org/2point0/turbo_plumbing4_lo.jpg"></a>

Couple shots of the turbo outlet tubing (2")
<a href="http://johnbaas.dyndns.org/2point0/turbo_plumbing5.jpg"><img src="http://johnbaas.dyndns.org/2point0/turbo_plumbing5_lo.jpg"></a>
<a href="http://johnbaas.dyndns.org/2point0/turbo_plumbing6.jpg"><img src="http://johnbaas.dyndns.org/2point0/turbo_plumbing6_lo.jpg"></a>

With bumper on:

Everything off. You can also see the braided line for the crankcase breather, and I'll probably be mounting the BPV here, just tapping into the inlet and outlet pipes:
<a href="http://johnbaas.dyndns.org/2point0/turbo_plumbing8.jpg"><img src="http://johnbaas.dyndns.org/2point0/turbo_plumbing8_lo.jpg"></a>


I also measured the turbo exhaust outlet, and found it's only 2 3/8", the stock turbo is 2.5" I may pull it off and open it up some.

Oh, and a side note, just remember to cut away from you, for example, when cutting silicone tubing. Or you may find yourself sporting a Spongehead Bob Squarepants band-aid (sorry, no pics)

John, sorry if this question was already asked, which FMIC are u running?

markbradford

Keep the faith my brother - looking forward to a ride when you'er done!

xr4tic

When it gets up and running, then I'll look into IC options. I'll probably end up making my own.

Dead

Nuts and bolts and time. Just take plenty of the last.

Lucas_Gchips

Get rid of it, and install a propper down pipe, you will definately improve on power on what is shown there.

xr4tic

I plan on changing it later, but for now, I just want to get the car running.

skabaru

looking really good john! you'll have to roll down when it is all said and done...
