PROTIP: don't farken worry about it :)

just don't thrash it if it's been tuned for 98 and put that in when you've run it down. I sometimes have to put BP or United 10% ethanol fuel in mine due to the nearest 98 octane pump being 35km from home lol. It won't harm it, there's also like 69 threads about e10 already anyway lol.

ah yea most are in general automotive, some people blather on about the hygroscopic (water absorbing) properties of ethanol inducing corrosion and premature wear in the fuel system, but basically:

don't get ethanol fuel from a cruddy old looking servo, as there's more likely to be more water and crap in the tanks to start with

don't get fuel when the tanker's there unloading due to all the sediment in the tanks being stirred up

As i've said in the other threads, not only does BP ultimate have 5% ethanol in it anyway, but the gf's datto 1200 has had no lines wear away or mechanical problems in using united e10 for the past 2 years plus. I don't run it in mine because it uses a noticable amount more of it.

      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
