I have a TSI kit I bought used, well the turbo and manifold.. I bought new piping and such, but i went to drop the turbo and manifold in and it seems to big to fit in the little space. I been trying to jimmy it in but stuff is in the way.

this is about as far as i got it in :/

Yup, that sounds like a tsi kit.

What's in the way, the radiator fans?

Yeah the radiator fans, A/C line and clutch cylinder I managed to jam it in but got stuck on an ac line bracket and such

Read this thread, it looks like there was a lot of discussion on how to get those things to fit and what had to be changed or modified to make it happen.

Ok thanks , well now the air exit part of the turbo is hitting the slave cylinder , this is a nightmare

I read the entire TSI thread, it's amazing the lengths I'm willing to go to help someone while avoiding homework lol.

I see tons of discussion of manifold fitment issues between the manifold and fans, including grinding up to 1/4 inch off the manifold (that's nuts), but no mention of clearance issues with the slave cylinder. How bad is it hitting?

Haha thanks a lot man, and yeah i read that part about grinding some off, i havent seen anything where i've needed to grind except for part of the radiator frame.. i took off the inlet flange and got it in even more so it wouldnt hit the slave cylinder now it needs to be moved right about 3/8 inch but now the A/C line is in the way lol

AC line shouldn't be to difficult to work around, they move, slave cylinders.. don't.

Is it one of the AC line brackets or the line itself, by how much does it need to move?

Ok I bent the ac metal line and got the manifold mounted to the engine.. next problem is the clearance between the slave cyl and the intake flange.. theres very little space to get the coupler on.. ill be taking pics to upload and maybe do a build thread

Sounds like you've been working through the problems pretty well, good work.

Definitely do a build thread.

i managed to get around all my problems. . turbo manifold in on , along with the turbo and the intake is on...

Oil pan is dropped and tapped

Front bumper is removed

emanage is installed

Now i gotta figure out how to get the damn oil pressure sender/sensor out to T it.. its in really in the block and tight and the space to work in is tight

I also gotta go get my downpipe remade because it doesnt fit -_-

well i guess im gonna drop the injectors in now

For the oil, it may be easier to get a sandwich plate adapter or filter relocation kit for the oil line out/pressure sender hookup. The sandwich plate has multiple fittings for oil lines.
