cos my foctory ones had hacks everywhere and i got em really cheap.. whats wrong man?!?! diddnt mean to offend ya :O

They just look ricey, more suited to a stripped out race car.

Edited by DSTROY
i know this, but when doing a 20 conversion, why not run atleast a side mount?

I'm going to say, because none of the standard piping etc would line up or at all be usable with a VL engine bay.

Too much hole cutting and chopping out airbox trays etc.

Be alot more effort then its worth, and why bother cutting a whole heap of holes in the bay when you will eventually upgrade to a FMIC. The crossover pipe is a great bandaid fix just to get the car moving imo so long as the car ran standard boost with std timing etc.

Maybe I am putting too much thought into this :\

stripped out race car!?!? u mean this?! hahahaha

lol! that reminds me, you keen on coming up to this http://www.loveday4x4adventures.com/Australian4x4Muster.html I might head up with my sister. I just want to win the Landcruiser that was painted up at my bro in laws paint shop :O

Looks like i better keep inspiring u Jenkies :O

On friday night my mate and i got stuck into fixing my battery tray from where battery acid had spilt before i brought the car.

First off was the cut the stupid thing out.

Then use some tripple 2 s (think that whats its called) makes the paint stick like crazy.

    • 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. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
