  1. I edited my last post. Mike I was not aware that you could overfeed a turbo... Can you elaborate?
  2. Gabe, In the first, second, and third picture, that is the dual banjo bolt. it is in the oil galley closest to the front of the engine. The kit is supplied with two fittings and three crush washers that you will install on that double banjo bolt and thread into said galley. (make sure the threads are clean and no burrs on them before installing the banjo bolt, also make sure the bolt is torqued to 14 ft-lbs or 168 inch pounds.) You need to reuse the factory banjo bolt in the rear(4th and 5th picture) with two new crush washers and a supplied fitting. Since you are using the factory turbo you SHOULD USE the FACTORY turbo fitting. You can use the new supplied crush washers if you'd removed yours... ONLY USE the kits turbo fitting for non OEM turbos. *Hint* before using new crush washers, use 0000 steel wool and clean the surface that the washers will mate to, the supplied washers are aluminum and so is the cylinder head. be CAREFUL not to get the steel fibers, nor the removed corrosion inside the galley!!
  3. I'm missing a 12mm banjo bolt(the passenger rear next to EGR valve) can I reuse my factory banjo bolt with the new crush washers in your kit?(I got the two crush washers, I'm just missing the banjo bolt.....) Mike I have a question for you, the TomiokaRacing 18G Billet turbocharger has a banjo bolt and 2 copper crush washers preinstalled with it; however the kit I received today also has a new turbo banjo bolt and what "looks" like larger diameter steel crush washers.....Will either of these work with the angled fitting, and if so which one do you rec. to actually use? Adam
  4. I just received the kit today in all of its completion. I am going to try to get the kit as well as my new turbocharger and downpipe installed today. I will take some pix along the way of the $300 full-kit install process. The instructions and the pix on this thread only show the $250 "half-kit". oh and here is a link to correctly set a click-style 3/8" torque wrench: (YouTube:How to use torque wrench for beginners) I was warned and have read several times in this thread NOT to EXCEED 14-15 ftlbs of torque on the banjo bolts. "You'd be suprised how many times I have actually seen someone set their torque wrench to the next, next setting just because they were ignorant as to it's operation!" Also, and probably the most important note!! IF you retrieve your torque wrench and it is set on ANY value above the minimum/stop value, you WILL have an incorrectly torqued fastener if that wrench is used. I have only done this twice in my career and once it was with a 1/2" wrench previously set to 120 ft-lbs, while the other was 38 ft-lbs on a 3/8" wrench Regardless, I always recommend to zero the wrench by leaving it at its minimum/stop setting 24 hrs before actually utilizing the tool... **(this is my suggestion and opinion; because, if it were left in a tool box for "say a year" the internal spring would probably be completely out of specs and would need replaced)** Adam
  5. Soaring, how'd it go? I'm in the middle of doing the Perrin inlet and a billet turbo install. I'm just waiting for a new oil line kit to arrive before I finish the job. My inlet was in very good condition, I thought it was cracked but it was just some flap that positions the worm clamp for the turbo side... I knew that removing the IM was the right way to go, so I did:-)
  6. BumP kits are available again finally! I just ordered my V2 kit, wish I knew a promo code...
  7. I'm on my tablet right now otherwise I would post you the link to the installation of this turbo inlet tube. You will seriously need that if you go with Perrin. Good tools!
  8. I am very excited to see this thread. I was one of the many who sent an email to GS requesting an 08+ LGT intercooler. I have been waiting for the ProcessWest IC to become available as a group buy in another thread; however, the concern for many is if the fitment issues it had were addressed. I have doubts and I hate when I have doubts about an aftermarket product. If any company can produce a product with A+ quality, affordability, and a range of versatile fitment it's GrimmSpeed. I swear this is their motto. "I will be first to buy the finished product." Adam
