Ian C Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Just remembered I had these 1 - The old T67 p trim in place 2 - Strut brace, accel cable, and turbo blanket out of the way 3 - Intake filter and pipe removed 4 - Same shot different angle, showing bearing housing of the non-DBB turbo 5 - All the intake side of the turbo removed. You can see where I located the boost control solenoid and plumbing in the bottom right of this picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 6 - A closer look at the boost control solenoid 7 - Compressor housing removed, and exhaust downpipe disconnected 8 - Closeup of the exhaust wheel of the turbo 9 - The exhaust housing left in place (this is the only way to install and remove a turbo of this ilk - in bits!) 10 - It's all out This is waaaay easier and faster than pulling the stock twins I can tell you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 11 - Installation is the reverse of removal, as ever, so I concentrated on the new bits - mainly the coolant lines. This shows the return line to the top rad hose elbow. Space it tight to curve hoses so I went for 90deg barb fittings made from T-pieces cut and welded. 12 - I took the water feed from both the front and the back of the block, nice and neat and might balance out some water temp differences in the block. Here is the rear feed with a barb in place. 13 - And this is where the hose goes from that barb. It T's into the hose coming off the other stock water feed. Note the rubber hose sections wrapping the braided hose and wiring. No nasty chafing failures for me later on This picture also shows the water feed going into the turbo jacket. Gotta love those ludicrously expensive aeroquip fittings... 14 - A shot of the rear water feed with the hose in place. 15 - Sexy new turbo in place The oil feed is different for a DBB cartridge, hence the adaptor and 90deg fitting. Another £20's worth of fittings, sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 16 - The turbo in place with all the new fittings and hoses. This shot is to show how I packaged it all up. I had to figure all this out and design it before ordering the bits so I'm glad it all fitted together as I expected it to. 17 - A shot of the whole thing back together nicely 18 - A blurry overhead shot for what it's worth. -Ian ps I've finished now, post away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Looking good mate.. Nice clean install Exhaust wrap looks a little loose. A good tip with installing that stuff is to leave it in a bucket of water over night and then wrap it the next morning as TIGHT as you can. When you fire her up the water evaporates and the wrap tightens up even more laving a perfect job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I need to sit down with you and teach you pipe fittings Mate that exhaust wheel looks excellent. That really is a testament to how well the car is running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks That's a good tip, and probably also reduces the amount of dusty shite that the wrap throws up as you install it. It's better than the first lot I had on believe it or not! Then I saw CW's wrapping job -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Usmann A Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 sweet install Ian! Bud wouldnt 2 90s on a-5/ -6, with a tap into the top rad pipe been easier? :d Could have them in black too for subtleness. As long as shes a spooler, which youve proved, its all good!

Ian C Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 I hate metalwork and I hate my car having downtime while waiting on someone else. Both of those meant getting a solution that I could plumb straight in, and this was it -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Without the turbo blanket you risk boiling the brake fluid, maybe melting the brake fluid resevoir and burning the bonnet paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
