Matt i am going to do my turbo intsall soon and i was wondering what was if any were the biggest problems u had with the install. Looking for anything to make the install easier on my part.
lets see...biggest problem so far was the oil pressure sensor...the hole on your block is metric and all the fittings you will find locally are standard, which i got to work, but with some trouble, and even still im thinking it might leak and cause me to redo that part.
you can avoid this by pmming little beavis and asking him where to get the T fitting in metric...if you have the same problems i did, you willl waste at least 2 hours ******* with it. i could almost be done if i had another 2 hours that i hadnt wasted.
other than that, nothing. ive had no problems thus far, just very time consuming...
only other thing i will say, if you get the same size FMIC as me, it IS POSSIBLE to mount the b**** behind your bumper support..if you take off your support it can be dangerous and your bumper will sag...all you need to do is measure a head of time and redrill if necessary to mount the brackets, and relocate the power steering loop (i think thats what it is) by disconnecting the vertical cross member in front of the radiator, and pushing the loop behind it and remounting the cross member...
let me know if you have any other questions...im by no means an expert but i can tell you what ive gone through at least.
