Default I am almost done but I have one more question on the turbo

I am pretty much done but I can't find the instructions on what goes here:



Also on the T tap that goes on the oil pressure sensor feels loose. I used the 1/8 tap to make the hole bigger but when I put in the T fitting it seems a little loose. Is there anything I can do to make it tighter?

I don't know about your first question but as for the loose oil pressure sensor, try using thread tape.

Ditto use Teflon tape or paste on that. The fitting on the turbo should have a pressure fitting installed and a line from there goes to the lower port on the wastegate (furthest away from the logo)

Yeah. You say Tomato I say Tomato. That phrase doesn't really work on the internet. Well you know what I am getting at.

should the pressure fitting already have come installed on the turbo? or is it a little 90 degree gold fitting that I have to put on it?

I noticed the BOV also has two threaded holes one goes to the plenum and the other goes wher?

No its probably not in there and IIRC it doenst come like that. There should be a single 90 fitting in the hardware kit that goes in that hole. YOu need to run a vacuum line from that fitting to the lower wastegate port (furtherst away from the red logo). The BOV also only has one vacuum line going to it. It should go from the plenum to the hole closest to the red logo at the top.

Ok thanks Robert I got that part but why does the BOV have two threaded holes one with a larger hole and one with a smaller whole

The lower hole (furthest from the red logo on top) is used in applications where more control of the BOV is needed (HIGH boost applications) to the point that the BOV is getting pushed open by by the boost and the boost signal cant keep it closed. On this application its not used.
