AGP turbo packege "additional parts"

[nineD5_GS-T]

I have my AGP 50-trim turbo *package* sitting here and I had a few questions. What additional parts am I going to have to get before installing this kit.

The kit takes oil from the filter housing, and since I have a 1g, I'll have to block that feed line off somehow. I think I'm just gonna head over to the junkyard and pick-up a bolt off of a non-turbo block.

Also, it looks like im going to need a new head-to-manifold gasket for the new exhasut manifold.

What should I do about the water pipe since this turbo is only oil-cooled?

Are there any more parts that I'm forgetting that I am going to need?

Thanks in advance.

You could use a brass plug for the water pipe or use a NT water pipe.

loop the water line it takes 30 seconds.

thats what i did, you also might wanna get an exhaust manifold gasket too

you guys have 2G's to unthread the coolant line from the lower water neck and cap it is a royal pain in the ass.

www.dejontool.com sells a NT water pipe that doesnt have the hole in it for $39. It comes with a new o-ring also.
I would get that just to make the install clean.

How would I go about doing this?

cut the eyelet off the line that is connected to lower water neck. attach hose to the cut off section of line. connect the other end of the hoes to the barb fitting at the t-stat housing. i would take a pic but i don't have my camera.

What a fast response . Thanks.

Use a 3/8 NPT plug for the water pipe fitting, and if you have your charcoal canister removed you can use the rubber block off hose that connects to one of the ports on the top of the canister to block off the coolant line to the thermostat housing. That way it looks like a clean install and not ghetto.

Does the AGP kit really come with the oil feed off the filter housing now? Mine comes from the stock 1g feed location. As far as the exhaust manifold gasket goes, if you have the MLS gasket you can reuse it with no problems. I can't think of anything else extra I needed for my setup except some Tial gaskets that I ended up getting from RRE.

EDIT: Don't forget you will need a 3" intake pipe. I got mine from Dejon.

People always want to make the simplest of things sound so super complex and important. Clip the coolant line take a 30 cent pierce of hose and two hose clamps and its over with.

I was just offering an alternative to your hacked waterline loop. Theres nothing complex about it, but I was happy to find that charcoal canister block off hose fit perfectly over the coolant neck on the T-housing. It looks nice (really unnoticeable, which is what it should be).

Your right what was I thinking. A short piece of line running behind the compressor housing. Then connecting to the barb at the thermostat housing practically slaps you in the face when you pop the hood. We all know how intrusive a rubber hose running behind the compressor housing looks. Also that feed line threaded into the lower water neck is super easy to unthread. Its practically hand tight:laugh:

Maybe you just need to eat your spinach

Yeah it was hard to get loose, but not impossible.

Why is it that you feel superior to everyone? Is it some kind of complex you have? There is more than one way to accomplish something, yet you seem to think your way is the only way. You did it your way, and I did it mine. Thats all.

Did you specify that, or is that just what they include now days?

This is how they do it now days due to more oil pressure from the filter housing.

I guess now, the only way they take oil from the head is if it is a ball-bearing turbo which should not have as much oil pressure.
