Hi Guys,

Just confused about the difference between guard and lip rolling. What exactly is the difference? I tried looking at pics they all look the same. I have trouble with my wheels/tyre scraping the guard/fender when i hit a deep ditch. This is not a major issue. Also when i enter/exit my drive way, the front tyres scrapes my guard my now on my passenger side, the guard is pushed out.

How can i fix this problem without any scraping issues when entering and exiting from driveways? I want my guard just to sit on top of my wheels without scraping full lock and entering/exiting driveways

Thanks for the help.

take a close up shot of your wheel space.. also what are the spec's on your wheels..

Lip Rolling is basically "folding up" the lip under your guard.. this eliminates that lip sticking out causing your tyre to rub.. however if you're wheels stick out under the actual guard.. you're gonna want to look at guard flaring of some sort..

When you're car is turning.. is it rubbing on the guard or another part in the car.. depending on wheel fitment it may be rubbing on another part under the car at full lock.. hence the pics and wheel size you have..

rolled or lipped is basically the same if im not mistaken.

feel under ur guards if there is like a |_ kinda feel they arent rolled get them rolled u should be fine. if they are rolled already it will be quite flat | kinda like that.

a flare is when u pull out the lip i dont think you'll need that.

agree with julz search.

    • 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
