As fatzman said,,,drag the bits out and start again,,,pity really,,,I liked naths work. What about a Gazelle coupe this time?.

I'm just glad your okay.

that sucks liz. it's always harsh to get punished for someone elses mistakes. i hope you have comp insurance and if you do, ring them right away. I have been screwed twice in the past when un-inured knobs hit me, and my cars were also un-insured at the time. the first time cost be about a grand and the second time about three and a half :( now i always make sure my cars have full comp insurance to protect me from other bone heads mistakes.

it will be tough going for you as I guess they'll just pay you out for a non-turbo silvia :mad: if you can try and buy the wreck so you can get the engine back (if it's ok).

on the bright side you still have your health! so booze on I say and start looking for a new car. :mad:

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
