No way in hell should anyone get underneath a car supported by that.

edit: ohhhhh its just a wheel lifter not an actual jack

dont worry then, might see if theres one to jack up a car

Lol

There are Low Ramps that fit underneath low slung cars > drive up on them > trolley jack > jack stands.

yeh ive made these custom wood plank ramp but want something better, also have dinted my chassis rails from the teeth in jack which im spewin but now i put a piece of wood to spread the weight

someone told me to use the tow hook but theres been mixed opinions about that

you could look into the inflatable jacks that 4x4's use.

made for use in the bush on rough terrain where a jack won't work - they're just a heavy duty inflatable bag that you slide under the chassis rail, connect to a compressor or even to the exhaust outlet and it will pump up under the car and raise it up!

the bag is only a few mm's high uninflated, so it would get under even the lowest car - plus they're light, and can be stowed in your spare wheel well. show me a trolley jack that you can do that with!

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • 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
