Re: WOHOA TURBO! ....Nicks 1 day turbo install.....
LMAO clint. actually, just woke up, but i got in here at lees around 1ish after bayfest CRAP and worked on her till 4.. i couldnt resist.... but yeah, got alot off last night, i/h/e, and frontend.
so yeah, 1 broke ratchet, already some blood, and well the mock up of the manifold is making my little vacuum valce on the side of the WG hit the valve cover, so i dunno wtf im going to do. just sepnt 15min with it again this morning and im not sure what ima have to do. i could flip the wg around 180, but that leaves the waste dump pointing toward the valve cover and i dont want that.... so i dunno what else i can do. i also noticed theres a hole on top of this wg.. is that normal for tials? ive only ever seen the vacuum L fitting on top, and not on the side... whats up with that? ill send pic in sec.. give me some thoughts. the L fitting on the side is hitting just a mere 4-5cm. im thinkin bout shavin the top of the nut off...
eatin breakfast atm

the Wastegate has 2 ports to it. one on top that goes to a boost controller and the lower one to just a vacume source

Re: WOHOA TURBO! ....Nicks 1 day turbo install..... OK. where here it is. its 1.15am my time (central) and id say im about 75% done. Electronics will have to be finished tommorow with more sunlight. Besides that, everything is mounted up and fits good after some fabrication **** i managed to do myself. nothing too drastic went wrong besides figuring out the piping, of course. it was really really tight with this turbo (its huge!) but i was able to get it all in there. I really need to get a dump pipe though, im going to burn the **** outta my rad and hood if i dont...
So it looks like the 1 day install has turned into 2, but thats ok, as id rather sleep at this point, because i have all of tommorows light to work with... just hope it all works when im done, or im ****ed.

Re: WOHOA TURBO! ....Nicks 1 day turbo install.....
Looks good Nick! Here's a couple suggestions I have from looking at the pics.
1. Pull your turbo assembly back out and wrap either your DP, or that AC line, or both if you want your AC to stay cool.
2. It's also much easier to attach the oil feed and return lines to the turbo when it's out of the car.
Have fun with putting a filter on the turbo intake with that battery in the way. Trunk reloc makes things a lot easier.
All in all, looks good man! You have a mess of wiring to contend with in the interior, but I know it looks worse than it actually is. Good luck with the rest of it!

Talk to Uncle Summit man or hit Ebay. DEI makes a decent wrap, although I've used both generic Ebay and DEI's wrap from Summit and they're both the same.
Nice filter routing by the way.

so here i am, awake again... and str8 at the car i go... im about to have to resoldier the entire (well about 10 wires) ecu harness, back to stock. between using 2 types of afc controllers and tapping in 4 gauges in the passed, my harness has jewd to ****ing hell and back. so if i want this emanage harness to work properly, im going to have to get everything back to normal. oh yeah, and also hook up the boost controller while im doing all that as well...

Head over to my thread - which is way cooler, sl33py - when you have 7 minutes and 40 seconds. My vid finally finished on Youtube!

LOL - sounds like par for the course Nick! Head on over to the T.E.A.R.S. thread and claim your member number!
I've got a pressure sensor from a D16Y8 that you can have. It might work, it might not. PM me your address and I'll drop it in the mail to you tomorrow.
RTV should work as long as both surfaces are clean and you re-do it every time you mess with the oil filter.
Keep at it man, I know you will!

Whoa something is not right at all!!!! is the plug and play harness correct. But there is deffinately something wrong....The base map I sent you you should not have to add fuel at all in the lower idle range at all..Could be one of two things...Fuel delivery could have a problem rather it is the injectors or pump...Or a bad box and PNP harness unless your PCM went bad..
