hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows where the line that runs down under the passenger side goes??. it runs along the inside of the chassis and into a square plastic box attached to the rail, does it stop there or run up inside the rail somewhere(it runs to the bottom of the canister). next question can it be disconnected easily at the box point, i need to cut this steel line at the firewall as im re-locating the canister up near the wiper motor before i do my new turbo install.

cheers.

pretty sure the line that goes into the chassis rail on lh side stops there. think its just a fitting with nothing on the other side and it just breathes into the rail

I thought it went back to the fuel tank, and is a breather for the tank?

theres a hard line that finishes near clutch booster on rh side, short hose then across firewall and to canister, then one goes from canister up lh side into plastic fitting in chassis rail. think either nothing on other side or short hose.

      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
