Turbo install

Looks Good! Did you get your oil pan all set up already?

 

Yes I did that a month ago

 

Its a mess but I'm not going for looks

 

I HIGHLY recommend re routing that oil line, but especially the MAF wire loom. Being that close to the turbine housing, will damage the wires.

 

As far as the oil line what would be the best route to go?

 

I'm using a block for vacuum coming from the intake and the brake booster do I still need to run a vacuum line from the turbo housing

 

Ok ready for first start I'm a bit nervous about the vacuum lines. On the vacuum block the main line is tied into the intake and brake booster.From the vacuum block one line goes to the BOV, one line goes to the wastegate on the side one, line goes to the boost gauge the other line on the wastegate I think it's a vent it comes out of the top

 

OK first start up went well no issues at all still running after 10 minutes with no issues and boost gauge is at -9 don't know if that's normal

 

You need to cap off the vac connection on the side of the TB that goes to the front part of the valve cover. Otherwise you'll put boost into your crank case and blow oil out of your oil cap. You can either put a breather filter on your valve cover or connect it to a vac only source. I teed mine into the vac system that hooks up the the Intake pre turbo. I had read online somewhere that the backs cover needs a small amt of vac. That why I did it that way

 

You mean this one thanks very much

 

Yup you got it

 

This will have to do for now

 

Boost gauge went to 10 I think I'm going to have to change the spring in the wastegate fell on its face

 

Correction went to 11psi and leaped forward surprised me

 

Wowzers! Is your fuel system completely stock?

 

Yes maybe there's a problem with the gauge I don't know

 

What WG are you using? What color spring is in it?

 

That's the thing I got the EMG USA tail wastegate off eBay all the springs were the same color somewhere different sizes than others and different rates you could feel some more weaker than others and I just put a combination that I could barely push in

 

I have the manual boost controller I'm thinking about installing that tomorrow and putting the weakest spring in the wastegate and see how that does

 

That would be a good of place to start.
