Turbo Install (ZPI Stage 0)
#24
well no i mean i understand that with a turbo that there is tuning needed to work out some kinks liek idling and stuff, but if the kit has problems like pipes rubbing and gaskets blowing id rather get sc or wait for somethign else or until it gets the kinks wokred out of it. Or is it all just in the install?

SWEEEEET write up.
On the charge pipe, I ended up removing about 1.5" off the end that goes to the throttle body. My front strut bar was in the way. It dropped it to a perfect fit. Hack saw worked just fine. Make sure you clean any shavings if you do this.
Tial wastegate gaskets SUCK. they all blow out within days. Excellent wastegate and BOV...but the gaskets are cheap. Do a google and you will laugh. Go copper or you can go bare.
I would consider a vacuum block. Maybe Kenny can throw one your way for the nice pics and writup. Using the plastic "T"'s is ok, but leaks are easier to happen with them. It took a few hunts myself to find a leak that drove me nuts. Crushed T from clamp. Rechecking all the couplers to make sure they didn't loosen up on ya is also a good idea.
You will also notice, if you launch it hard, your engine moves about 10 inches and this can hit the charge pipe to the firewall. Stiffy time

The charge pipe hitting the firewall....well this engine moves like 10 inches under launch. That needs to be brought under control. Some good torque going now. I lowered mine because I have a strut bar.

I do remember that was another thing I really didnt' like - having to not use a strut bar, or having to cut engine cover to keep the strut bar, and then cutting the pipe to do so.
Sorry to hear about the WG n such..
