hi guys. im currently putting my kit together. having a problem right now. i installed the turb housing which one bolt goes on the ac compressor. and i started putting everyother pipes together as the instruction stated. but now time comes to turbo. i found that the high side of ac is hitting. i realized i dont have they called turbosupport bracket. could this be the problem? i dont see a picture in the instruction how they look like. anyone can show me a pics. heres what im talking about. thanks

Mine did the samething. You can try bending that line out of the way but it may not work. Even with all the bending I did it still was in the way just slighthly. I just disconnected that ac line and I'm going to have a custom one made.

 

yea thats what im thinking. i might just remove the lines.

 

I used a small crowbar to bend it all the way till it touches the water line. real easy to do.

 

i tried doing that. but even with bend. when turbo sits in. it will hit against the turbo.

 

mine is close. when I installed the turbo I had to **** it to the side to get it to fall into place because its so tight. you'll get it don't give up.

 

heres a pic of mine if you can see way down there

i will try again. thanks. frankie

 

+1 on using a crowbar, its ok if its touching as long as you double/triple layer the AC line with a heat wrap.

 

becareful, the lines are a little stronger than you think, but still dont HULK it out of the way... would really suck to break that line.

 

another question guys. is there a gasket between the downpipe and the turbo? i got the kit used and it didnt come with it. i was just wondering if there is suppose to be one. and is there suppose to be 2 gaskets by the wastegate? thanks

 

:sprint: (even though that doesn't work here...bah)

They are strong as hell, it will take a fair amount of muscle to bend them. While you're doing it you're going to be thinking to yourself '****, I'm gonna break the hell out of this line'.

Just bend it over as far as possible, you should have some clearance with the turbo. Not a great amount by any means, but enough.

 

Up-pipe has the metal 4-bolt, the downpipe uses copper RTV as a 'gasket' of sorts.

Don't apply too much, the last thing you want is some RTV on the exhaust wheel...

BTW, installation instructions available here: http://www.turboneticsinc.com/downlo...50Z_manual.pdf

Also, so far as I've heard TN stopped including the up-pipe support bracket with the kits.

There should also be 2 wastegate gaskets, IIRC.

 

it does take a lot of force. shamefully to say, my motor fell off the hoist this weekend (only 1/2 a ft drop) and the A/C was dangling and it bent it a little bit, I thought it would have broken the line cause it fell right on it. these motors are strong

 

When did you get a Z/G? Bandwagon traitor.

 

I've been here for a while. Was hidding in the computer/ off topic lounge, but I have this affinity for boost that I cant help. Plus doing research

what are you doing here?

 

Check out my SN on these boards, that should speak for itself. I like to help those doing research.

So, you know who you should have install your FI...a fellow org member :wall:

 

Lol... yea I've seen your title and glad you on here too.

I'm installing my FI kit, and feed piping is almost done, just a couple more measurements. Wiring for my tuning device is almost done

 

TN ST? What type of EMS?


We should probably take this to PM, we're whoring up his thread.

 

yea we kinda are

I'm still rockin the 4G so its all custom, 60-1 .82 a/r on the turbine. EU already in my posession, and just finished my PNP harness, gotta double check my wiring and test it out on the car. then wire in the harness and time for some data loggin
