Today i started to really install the turbo. took the front bumber
off the radiator and the stock exhaust mani spent like half the day on one bolt- striped it -drilled it- broke it. my turbo exhaust mani is very diffearnt from NIK's old 7afte i also had to cut the top left hand side of the mani. the down pipe has to go between two refrigerant lines they are really close i was thinking ...i drain the refrigerant then with a torch heat up the line and bend it a little. how much dose it cost to get it filled? |

With 60 psi at idle, use the restrictor. some smoke is normal on first startup, but not a lot. Hope you can get that AC back up, its nice to have. sounds good though, lets get some pics!

haha, not electrical restrictor; its a piping restrictor that goes on your oil line. go to:
http://www.jgstools.com/turbo/index2.html click on turbo accessories and adapters. buy: 0.063" Oil Pressure Orifice 303 SS, 1/8" male to 1/8" female NPT, use thread sealant on all NPT connections. $15 This post has been edited by CheesyLobster: Mar 15, 2006 - 7:28 PM |

No I'm not talking about that cheesy i ran 10w 10ohm inline with my low impedance injectors to make them high so right now they are like 13ohm works great... but today i got my downpipe done WOW they did a nice job looks clean but i didn't get the muffler put in. so it's a "sleeper" for now but they forgot to put that up stream o2 sensor. |
