Help on TSI Turbo Kit!!
I am in the process of getting my TSI Turbo Kit installed, but we ran into a couple of speedbumps. Any help would be appreciated.. I have the TSI Extreme Trubo kit for my 02 Civic EX, with the T28 Dual BB Turbo. Here are the issues, 1. The intercooler pipping runs right into my A/C, does that have to be removed or is there a way around it? 2. There has to be a hole drilled into my oil pan, the fitting I got for it (for the oil return) I was told, was for a steel oil pan, which I don't think that I have, am I wrong about this are there other fittings for that?
Thanks
Thanks
the EX oilpan is magnesium/aluminum, so theyre right about that.
you may need to redo the piping to keep your a/c... and i never knew the TSI kit had a t28... the ones i saw were all t25's

Rep Power: 0 I upgraded the turbo to a T28 Dual, We are trying to reroute the piping to go underneath the subframe... Question is the fitting that I got is for a steel oil pan will that be okay or do I need to change that too?

Rep Power: 0 welding with aluminum is a pain in the ***, its extremely hard to make a bead...i suggest just finding an aluminum fittin(lowes or home depot has similar ones) and having someone weld it for you

So let me quess, what you are saying is that if I didn't up grade the ball bearing, which gave me the T28 I would have been fine? Well that's stupid.
