Oh forgot to mention on the tuning thing...since I'm using the same compressor now, I'm sure there won't be much of a change up top although the more efficient turbine might have something to say about that (less backpressure). What will change will be where the boost comes on (I'm guestimating 1500rpm sooner) so I'll have to change the "bottom" of the boost range

The kit is not from overseas ask anyone who's been in my shop watching me make these things all day long, believe me it gets tiring, as for the oil feed I'm not sure, I could make you one but you will need to give me measurements of length and whatnot.

My bad...thought they were still being made in Aussie land :-) I'll figure out how long the line needs to be. Wasn't thinking and forgot my turbo placement is different :-)

i just took out my hardline and put in a stainless hose right from the oil feed michel.... it was easier than finding a fitting that could hook up to the hardline...



by the way, whats your paypal addy? i gotta send you that money..

Exactly I should of made that clear measure from the eyebolt at the front drivers side corner of the block. Thanks for reminding me.

Yes, that's how I have my line running now...from the block on the driver's front to the turbo. I'd say a 3.5ft. hose would be just fine, but I'm going to do a bit of measuring anyway just to be sure.

I can definately verify what Sean is seeing as I've seen that turbo kit in numerous stages of the build process. Anyone who orders a kit from these guys will not be unsatisfied with the craftwmanship. They are topnotch.

Look like 3ft. will be more than adequate for the oil feed Sean. I could probably get away with 2.5 ft. but the extra length will let me route it where I need to. PM me if/when you get a chance. Not sure what sort of lines the coolant feed should be or what they're set up for on the turbo? Right now the turbo is oil fed only.



I actually remember hearing that A-Spec was working overtime building the kits themselves...just forgot. I think Rick mentioned something to me. When I said overseas it wasn't as in Hong Kong overseas it was in Australia overseas. I'm sure the kit is top notch in build quality otherwise I wouldn't have contemplated purchasing one or advising others to get one :-)

OIC...btw, what are u planning to do wrt air filter? Just a K&N, special plumbing, or other brands? Also, who's doing your PFC maps afterwards (i suspect it'll be close to your T78)?

Hey Hedwig,



Sean had a nice setup on his car where he ran tubing to colder parts down low. Sean, you got a pic of that?
