LOL damn u danny!  So hawt... want to turbo my car.  Stupid mortgage, car payment (wife's), etc.

[JoeDellio]

Awesome Danny. Looks like you got a T3 hotside. Looks good, I can see how the top mount would work out a lot better. Couple questions for you.

Any problems using your stock MAF as a blow thru?
Looks like there is 3 lines going to the turbo, where did you get your oil feed from? And what is the 3rd line going down by the coolant resevoir? Is that a coolant line, and I just cant see the other one underneath the turbo?

All in all it looks badass, did you mock this up yourself or did you get the idea from another car? Im just trying to figure if there is a good stock oil feed to go from before I drill, and what to do about the MAF. In my past experience I never had luck using a MAF in a blow thru setup, the turbo always forced the air in so fast the MAF couldnt read half of it.

Nope, worked fine until I pulled it for megasquirt

I pulled oil from the plug under the oil filter, it would be better to T off the oil pressure switch though, which I'll do eventually.

And what is the 3rd line going down by the coolant reservoir?  Is that a coolant line, and I just cant see the other one underneath the turbo?

The line running near the reservoir is the oil feed actually. You can see the two coolant lines going to the back of the motor, I reran one coolant line and put it in front of the motor now however.

I got the idea from a guy on here named... George something. There is a decent stock oil fitting to go off but apparently it bypasses the filter.

Here it is:



Thats right under the oil filter housing.

Thanks, I thought your coolant lines were the oil lines. I researched that plug under the oil filter housing, but I read it was dirty oil like you said, Ill have to mess with the pressure sending unit  anyways when I put in a manual oil pressure gauge.

Did you use the TB heater feed and return as your means for cooling also?

And when you put on the megasquirt did you delete the MAF all together, or what are you using now?

I really like how you have it top mounted, it would make it a lot easier if I could do that. I checked it out yesterday though and it would be a bitch. Id have to relocate the coil, delete my A/C (no way Im doing that in south florida), and my strut tower is just simply way too close to the valve cover.

No I just T'd off of some coolant lines that already existed.

yep, got rid of it all together, no need for it.

Yeah I deleted my AC and moved the coils to the firewall where the battery tray is. I'm not excited for summer.

Im gonna have to fight to get intake and intercooler pipes past the A/C compressor and lines. Where are you located that no A/C is gonna suck?

[Danny707]

In the California Valley.

Bay Area ish.
