Mr_Meaty

right, cause of how the manifold is setup. You have the WG up front, and ours have the turbo up front.

olaHalo

its so purdy

Mr_Meaty

I just noticed you don't have your dump tube on either...what's up with that?

java09

wheni tell you why you will laugh..
when we marked the pan with the dump tube on it looked like a good area.. then after we bolted everything down the dump tube hits the oil return line, basically we marked it in the wrong area.. haha i am going to have to have the dump tube cut and welded on a slightly different angle.. im an idiot. but yeah heres a status on whats going on with me:

1. need a smaller ic from todd (i dont want to cut the factory crash bar). i also need new clamps for my 90 coupler (both were to small) and new clamps for my turbo to intake pipe (both were way to big)..

2. tweak everything this weekend for better fitment and install my vaccum block.

3. finish installing all my gauges so they are usefull!

4. install emange/injectors then tune! hopefully i will recieve everything before this weekend.

5. get my dash 10 bung from D&M hydrolics and have it welded to fix my small oil leak from the return line.

and 6. enjoy my turbo.

i also got a cel:

DTC P0171 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1

is this because i am still running my stock injectors??

Phil, see'er of all, knower of all.. please help me!!! haha

Mr_Meaty

I got that same CEL. Fixed after injectors and tune...your good if you only got that one!
Oh, and in the mean time, just take a dremel or hacksaw and saw yoru dumptube off at that last bend. This is EXACTLY what happened to me and that is what I did for now. You can always get another piece welded at that point, but it will put yoru exhaust further toward the bottom of your engine bay. If not, your **** is gonna get FILTHY!

Damn, dude...I TOLD you to mound the mani, WG and tube BEFORE tapping the oil pan! Oh well, you'll geterdone.

Oh, and if one set of couplers are to small and the others are to big, can't you just swap them?

java09

i tried the swamp and it doesnt work.. they still dont fit. and i did mount it and some how it was off???? i was like wtf??? but whatever it was my fault.. and i havent hit boost yet so no wastegate nastiness in the bay.. i need to speak with todd but i cant get ahold of him..

aen

phil, MOUNT

mound is a hill of dirt.

java09

hahahahaaaa

jaxtcracer

guh... guh... guh... GORGEOUS!

java09

thanks jaxtcracer!! your kit goes in for install on the 20th right! did you get you mani polished and what not?

olaHalo

i didnt mark the oil pan or anything. my dumptube rests against the oil return line though.
why dont you just get a map from someone java

java09

i dont have my harness bro.. im still waiting on it.. that my intake pipe and now a new intercooler!

aen

matt, whose is that? their oil feed line is bent in a way that it would clog up over time.

java09

thats mine aen.. how should i change it?

aen

the part that's connected to the actual turbo, just turn that a little bit to the right and let the line freely correct itself then screw the top portion back on.....or other way around, either way there should be smooth curves, not sharp ones like that

aen

actually, an even easier way...if you're lazy is to take the oil feed flange off, and let the line just swing the natural way that it's formed and then attach the flange back on once it's corrected.

java09

what do you mean by sharp curves where? they look smooth to me??

java09

ok i know what you mean by sharp.. it should be more like a bow and arrow right?

aen

meh?

theres a portion of the line that's lying under the manifold. it looks like a sharp almost 90 degree turn, that would cause the oil to flow all weird and crappy like. and cause clogs.

as long as it's a slow gradual curve, or a straight line then you are fine.

steel braided lines have a tendency to ccrease when they are coupled with sharp turns and have high temp liquids going through them.

java09

so just on screw the oil feed lite at the turbo spin it around to its natural curve then re attach.. should i put it below that hose? like phils?
