There is high temp sheathing that will cover the line you run for the wastegate and from there you can always take the rubber hose (for length) down to your local hydraulic hose guy and get them to make one up. Even if they needs to use a reducign bush for the M5 conneciton

its going to be tight to find something that will fit in there.

I would take out the nipples and braze some brass tube onto them that is about 40mm long and then have a olive/sleeve collet fitting connecting to a braided line. that way you can screw the original fittings in place and leave them in place and screw the lines in situ.

hope this makes sense. just take the gate with the fittings to pirtek/enzed and tell them what you want to do ;) probably cost a bit but it will work and withstand 100's of degrees.

cheers!

Once I get the car back I dont think I will have any choice but take the gate off and see what Enzed and Pirtek can do.

Roy, Yea gate cap is billet.

I spoke to NYTSKY who has the same gate he said he just used normal silicon but I assume his gate is mounted a tad further away from the main heat source.

AD4M, Thanks for that any links to suppliers who stock it?

Quick Update - Found the oil leak.... Appears the oil filter isnt done up quite enough so when the car gets dropped off this arvo I'll fix that up, Then I just have to get a replacement CAS and see if that resolves the problem with it not running.

No real updates, been busy with work and other unexpected things.

I have over christmas installed a new Haltech ECU to replace the Adaptronic, I have just finished wiring up all the sensors etc and all that is remaining is to make a alloy bracket for the map sensor.

I also am trying to find a decent Catch can with -8 / -10 an fittings so I can plum in the breathers.

Once I find a some spare weekends I'll stick it on a trailer and take it to the dyno to start fresh with the tune.

Cheers

There is nothing decent readily available on the market, you will need to make one. -10 fittings are the way to go :D

I am looking to make something similar to what RIPS have done for their customers, fitting it where the battery tray is.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
