so i finally have my manual tc me an my boy bout to pop in that turbo everything was great up until we notice the T adapter to the oil feed line came broken all the threads were screwed up so we put everything back to stock due to lost of motivation

we got a little inspired head out To SK sports(great tuning Store by the way) got another T adapter for the oil line this time further down the line we notice the MAF wasnt fitting and the injectors didnt have a harness awesome the whole project got scrapped

totally epic fail a not so long project took 10 - 12 hours

 

Really, you scrapped the whole thing just because of a couple of pieces?

 

well i didnt get ride of anything but for the mean time the project is postponed need to reco er from the heart brake

 

if u cant have see pass these lil problems i guess boost isn't for u because i have had way bigger problems and i still keep with it

 

makes me feel like it aint for me but imma give ot another shot man but ina better setting we were doing back yard tunning and it wasnt quite working out we had to run to autozon acouple times

 

im a bit of a rookie at this turbo stuff so im learning as i go........ how long has it taken anyone to install a turbo

 

The parts to make that T for the oil feed are typically just all 1/8" npt than a JIC/flare fitting which you can buy at Ace Hardware or a plumbing store. As for the injectors, if they dont plug into the stock clips, you may need to splice and solder in new clips if they came with them. As for the maf sensor, it is possible that your flange is for the wrong year (07-10 is diff from 05-06) - if you bought the kit new, you should be able to return that part and get the correct pipe/flange

read all of those twice.

 

dont get discouraged. its does take a lot of trial and error. ive gotten my install time down to 3 hrs. it def saves time when u have a lift available and air tools. but dont throw the project out the window just cuz a few things didnt go smoothly. anyone on here will tell you that nothing usually goes smooth, and if it does something else will go wrong down the rd. if theres questions that you have dont be afraid to ask someone or post a thread. u may get some sarcastic remarks, but someone will def try and help the best they can. (one of the real reasons forums were started imho)

 

hey man wise words i feel extra motivated again man i am so ready to start again man that is very true im learning as i go trial and error well i got 2 tries on deck n a third pending hopefully things go better atleast i know now whats missing

 

yeah i got me a MAF adapter to fit the piping it seems it has to be welded on to the pipe to fit.....as far as the injectors im just gonna get another set prob 550 or better

 

no problem man. just remember, ur only at the beginning stages of ur build. right now im in the process of trying to get my fuel trims in check. i keep throwin a code for bank 1 too rich, we tho we had everything adjusted where they had to be and i just went out for lunch and the cel came back on w the same code. so that being said, u still have a ways to go.

 

you're going to have to get clips with the injectors no matter what ones you get. you can just get the clips for the current ones you have.. and save some money.

i say this in the nicest way possible. slow down. and try to get someone local to you that's done this before to come by and lend a hand, because it really does make a difference.

 

im actually working with my boy tcdreamer87 hes worked on three different tc including mine which helps cuz two days ago i didnt know i didnt know one bolt from another lol but imma take my time cuz this stuff cost money

 

dam that night was definetly deppresing. the plan was install the kit overnight then drive to paul at dezod to get tuned next day. at like 3 in the morning we were so deppresed bout having to put everything back to stock that we just sat in front of the car drinkin beer then my girl came out and brought us into the house. next time it will go better we know the parts we need. ive installed a few kits already and i know ____ never goes as planned but dam this time was just plain out deppresing. we installed the kit two times in a like 12 hours
