i started to take my car apart for the install tomorow and i could not get this one bolt off. its te one on the header rite on the top rite next to the alternator. i got all of them off exept this one i can find a good angle to get it out. any tips would help

 

Crows feet. Or the closed side of the wrench. Not so hard.

 

i left the car there i will start tomorow took the truck home. its probably because i was tired that i couldnt figure it out usualy i take things apart fast dont know wat happened today lol. well hopefully with in the next 24 hours i should be joining you all in boost city

 

I used a deep offset wrench and it made it soooo much easier. Similar to this:

^^yeah offset or a standard closed end 12mm wrench.

 

alrite everyone i am finaly boosted but i ran into a few problems after the install. the car was driving semi fine lol but after i drove it a litle bit it started throwing out white smoke out the exhaust. from my past experience i know that its due to oil being burnt but i am lost rite now i have the car parked rite now and i will be taking it back to my shop tomorow to work on it. please help

 

A little white smoke on a new turbo setup (not used) is normal for the first little bit of driving. It should clear up within an hour of driving. If it doesn't, then check out the rest of the setup (gaskets, seals, oil pressure, etc). How well is the car running in regards to AFR's? What are your fuel trims? What are you using to tune your car and what kit are you running? All of these specifics will help us help you better.

 

White smoke is water/antifreeze blue is oil. Was the kit used?

 

i got a ZPI stage 0 i am putting my AEM FIC tomorow with a map i got (thanks to crush) hopefully it makes my car run alot smoother. i am so tired rite now i will get you all the rest of any more info you guys need

 

check your return line, make sure there are no kinks, loops, and doesnt dip bellow oil pan fitting.

 

^ ah yes indeed the return line can be a pita full of problems if overlooked.

 

ok guys i have a bad update. i think the seal might be no good its leaking oil into the intake mani and thats why my car is smoaking up a storm. i am gonna order a new seal kit and my buddy at the shop is gonna chage them out for me i am not up there with the mechanical skills yet. this blows!!!!!! i knew it was to good to be true i did the install in about 3 hours i think and half the time i was goofing around with my car (note i was paying attention to the install tho and wat i was doing)

 

damn bro sorry to hear hope all goes well after the seals get fixed keep us posted

 

pics of set up would maybe help some...

 

only pics i got plz guys let me know wat you see wrong, i dont have a vacume block thats why i have all the vacume lines like that. and i know i need to clean my engine bay i am just more worried about making my car run smooth then it looking good

 

I think i see the issue...your center section (has the oil lines on it) is at too much of an angle keeping a pool of oil in the center section so its not draining properly...you want your oil return pointing towards the ground (streight down)

 

so you think i dont need to change the seals? also how can i correct that

 

you should be able to clock the center section...

 

so change the seals or should i clock it first to see if there is any change?

 

clock it first, let car run for a few min...if smoke doesnt seem to be getting less and less then maybe seals are damaged. most of the time you can correct the draining issue and the turbo will run just fine.
