I'm guessing you'll have a low profile hat to go over the throttle body?

Have you test fit the compressor housing? Looks like it might not fit, its kinda huge...

1979rx7 01-18-2011 05:48 PM

Hows the build coming? Have you tuned the TEC3 yet?



Also, kind of a silly question, where do you get your AN fittings at? I'm having a really hard time finding some for my oil lines to the turbo without having to go to JEGS or Summit.

if you have a race shop local to you you can buy them there. i feed my turbos with -3 line and fittings similar to brake line size. have not had any bearing issues or oil issues on any of them and i use a -10 return and just make the fittings i need for mounting to the front cover and turbo.

the fittings we goten from a local race equipment place,,, soon to be running
