I would walk into an exhaust shop or performance workshop carrying that turbo and exhaust kit and ask to buy sufficient suitable fasteners to hold it all together. The dump is usually held on to the turbo outlet with a mixture of bolts and a couple of studs (due to lack of access to get bolts through). The dump onto the down/front pipe will want decent fasteners that can take the heat. (Same with the turbo-dump fasteners for that matter, plus you want to have decent dome washers or locking fasteners or lock tabs or something to stop them coming loose and falling off).

That "blow off valve" is not a BOV, it is a wastegate, which you won't need if you swap back to standard turbo.

Your question marked blue hose elbow needs to be replaced with the original cast alloy crossover pipe, if that is what your new cooler piping kit is intended to hook up with. The cross over pipe also has the point where you put the BOV, plus it has some tapping points used for connecting parts of the emissions gear. If you put a factory BOV onto the factory cross over, you'll also need to put in the pipework to take the BOV outlet back to the turbo inlet.

I tend to agree with the other guys here. You would be better off getting the stuff you have on the car working than trying to go back to stock. Too many niggly things you need to do it right.

The wheels issue is best solved by pissing them off and fitting either stockies or aftermarket ones that actually fit. There is very little reason to use spacers to make the wrong wheels fit beyond appearance/fashion, and cars should not be made to look in a particular way at the expense of functionality. To do so is to not masculine.

Also keep in mind that spacers for your wheels are illegal and defectable

Not sure why others on here are even suggesting you use them when other options are out there

edit. point has been made and discussed.

^^ this! get someone (any furkn one!) who can sort this for you

You are trying to use a combo of stock and aftermarket parts(some good and some not) and trying to make it work for you

The way you are approaching this is going to end in tears and an empty wallet

You really don't listen to anything I have tried to tell you do you...GL with it champ....you'll need it :thumbsup:

Sorry, couldn't get a good look at the object as it was under my manifolds and i'm new to turbos/ wastegates, it looked totally different to the stock one.

i've had 2 people from jap car clubs to come have a look at it, and i've taken it to various performance shops recommended by others.

what you need is some under bonnet pics of a stock standard engine bay then go search for the parts, quite simple really

im returning mine to stock and will take some pics for you..

some more pieces to your puzzle

UPDATE: just blew the old turbo, defiantly rejoicing over my decision to buy stock turbo. Glad i didn't throw on fuel rails and try to tune that setup, like some suggested haha.

Question: can i limp a blown turbo around if i stay off boost for a week?(no smoke yet)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
