I think you guys would appreciate this more. Don't think many of you visit the single turbo forum.



Ii haven't been on this forum for a few days. Been very busy installing this turbo. I've had a few headaches but most of them are clearing up.



Here is the before picture.





First problem was the downpipe. I was able to get in touch with the guy i bought the turbo from and get his custom downpipe. All i need now is to make a str8 pipe from the end of the downpipe to the ypipe. I'm using racing beats 3" flanges, I hope they fit my N1 dual ypipe flange ok.



The other problem when i started to install the turbo was, I coudn't get the turbo and manifold to go in as one piece, I had to take them apart, first the manifold.



HKS manifold in.



Then the turbo, compressor facing down, That's where I started to have a problem the compressor side would rub and push agaist the lower radiator hose. I had to do something if I wanted the greddy ic pipe to fit under the car like the kit was suppose to. I tryed different hoses, nothing. A spacer between the manifold and turbo might of worked.







So i decided to turn the compressor around and have it shoot up. Guess what, it worked. Now is actually better, because i don't have to move my ic pipe but have to add a piece but turn out for the better. I have to mount my BOV and that's where is goign to be welded at on that steel pipe.



The next problem is the oil line is 2 inches short and i dont' have the adapter for this. Russell should have them right?



Add more line.







Well that's it for now. I hope to have the car running by monday or early tuesday.

Maybe you can change that 245 RWHP to 425 RWHP.
