I just installed mine on Friday night. I had to modify the actuator mount to make it fit without tapping the tower in. Got a die grinder and elongated the holes on the actuator bracket and then just slid it up until it cleared the strut tower.

Also for the coolant line on the body side of the turbo I took it off the block and attached it to the turbo then bent it into position on the block end, makes the job so much easier. Took approx 5min to get the water lines on, just make sure you undo the pipe clamps holding them to the block like Stao said.

Just quietly, these turbos are a HELL of a lot easier to get on and off if you spend a bit of extra cash and make up some braided water lines for them. I can get mine off in well under an hour these days, without the helping hands from mates. I spent about $60-$70 on the Speedflow fittings and braided line that I needed and put them together myself (anyone installing a turbo can put together braided line).

Food for thought.

Gonna bump this cause I think it's relevant
So I've been installing my ss2 and have an issue with the water lines.
The one on the engine side. I assume is feed is touching a bolt on the turbo. Will this be an issue? Vibrations etc.
The feed on the body side looks like it doesn't reach AT all. I'm thinking I'll just get a braided line made up cause it'll be easy to get too. Or I just realised above has said to attach to turbo first.
So my question really is about the one on the engine side. Or how do I go about.connecting a braided line to it being that the line runs to the back of the block.

I just finished installing my ATR45 which is bigger than the SS2 had to do the following

Unbolt brackets from the engine side holding lines to the block

Undo water line off the side of the block

Bolt the water line to the turbo

Bend/Stretch the water line a bit to get it to get back to the block

After doing the above its fine, have a few mm of room between the turbo and the line but it fits none the less.

Tao can confirm but that's pretty much what he told me to do and it worked

hmmm ill have to look at it again tomorrow and try that line again,

i guess ill have to look at the other one and see if theres a way to get it away from the bolt too

If the exhaust and inlet housings are in the correct positions just loosen the 13-14mm? Bolts around the housings and then you will be able to rotate the center enough to clear the bolt [emoji106]

ok i think i get what you mean,

take the turbo out and loosen bolts on both sides, intake and exhaust, and that will allow me to rotate the core on its own but the actuator will keep the two sides in the correct positions?

I guess ill rotate that side pictured up about 10mm and try again, that does sound like it will help with the other side as the line sits ALOT lower and from mem the side i could connect was higher.

Currently its all set at 12-3-6-9, if you look at it like a clock

I guess its just something ill have to try.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
