ok so the past 2 days i have been installing my turbo but ive run into problems already. biggest problem is i cant clock the turbo to allow clearance for intake piping... i have a ZPI stage 0 turbo with dezod intercooler piping. if i clock the turbo down it either hits the engine or the flange faces the radiator not giving me room for pipes... for those of you with zpi kits and intercooler how did you do it?
so im running no intercooler... other than that the car seems to run fine...

other problems i had was a cross-threaded AEM UEGO sensor....
and the idiot over here pluges the UEGO sensor with out bolting the spipe while car was on the lift well pipe fell and pulled out all the wires from the uego plug

so i dont know how im running right now

HELP ME....

 

on most of the zpi stage 1 kits iv seen they have the turbo clocked with the comp outlet faceing up towards the hood and a j-pipe hooked up to outlet.

you can get replacement parts for the uego through any aem dealer.

 

yeah no matter what set up of intercooler piping u use ur going to need a j pipe go on ebay or try lookin on craigslist they go pretty cheap

 

i have no j-pipe lol id love to try and explain the insane amount of fustration i went though to make it fit!!
never again!!!!!!
i wish i could take pics but i cant find my stupid camera charger anywhere!!!!!!!!!

 

il probably have a pipe made my self you should go to a muffler shop if ur luckey they will have aluminized pipes so they can make a custom one for you. on a side note man these ZPI kits are poping up all over the place lol

 

lol where the hell r they popping up from!!! since i got mine 4 other members have posted up all their problems jajaja i had my share of bloody problems.

 

speedy comeone please find your camera i can't fit this shiznit no matter how i try, might end up loosing the fans!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH and even with a j pipe it would be hellatight, ANYONE have pics? HELPPPP

 

Dude I looked everywhere for my charger...as for my set up I got rid of the stock fans and clocked the turbo as far down as it went which means it's outlet faces the radiator then I got a 90degree bend which is about a 3/4ths of a in. Away from my radiator then I used a hump coupler to give the pipes some flex and that gave me room to put a straight pipe to the rest of my IC kit.
The j pipe idea is the easiest but having your charge pipe go so close to the turbo housing isn't cool.

 

i might end up buying a new manifold and dp lol

 

thats an option or u can just buy a ptunning kit and call it a day lol.
dont give up its worth the trouble in the end.
however i wouldnt mind a shiney ram style mani

 

^ Descendant has a nice mani like that!
