Sadness.....16g to T25

[fstfcs]

Ok i have a few questions.

First off, i need to reinstall the factory T25 turbo that came on the car because some moron decided to install an ebay 16g and she went kaboom on me.

Now the T25 seems to have a hole? In the bottom where it looks like some kind of screw or plug would need to go in it i'm guessing.

It has all the lines already attatched to the T25. So what am i looking at essentially to get these two turbos swapped over so that i can drive around without smoking out every car in a 3 mile radius?

Can you take a pic of this hole?

 

[fstfcs]

see the oil return is hooked up.....im not sure what the hole is for though.

Coolant line, return by the looks of it. Your good, there is only one way to route everything, but all the lines should fit more or less when you pull your ebay 16g back off. Maybe have to bend some water lines a touch.

Water. These are oil and watercooled.

Gotchya makes everything aa bit more easy on thee mind.

Now i just have to get this turbo apart from this stupid tubular manifold.....things a bi***.

Do you guys suggest going with the stock 2g manifold over a aftermarket tubular?

Trip to home depot I see, nice find!

 

[pboglio]

Depends on the tubular manifold.

Be careful though, looks like a bad kink in the oil return line there.

 

[fstfcs]

itss not as bad as she looks.

I ran some fluid through it to see if it was going to leak no such issues though.

Those home depot couplers will not hold boost very well. Just a heads up

I'm aware. It's a temp solution till i can get my hands on a real 16g.

This is just to make the car drivable again.

Get a evo3 manifold and call it a day. They flow better than the 2g manifold and wont crack like tubalur manifolds. They also sell stainless lines for your water and oil lines that would make it much easier to run the lines. Get a new return oil line

Why don't you just go to a real 16g?

 

[fstfcs]

i am getting a real 16g.

Ran into a snag installing my T25. Apparently the oil feed lines on the two turbos differ greatly......i had no idea.

 

[Afroclipse]

just out of curiosity did your 16g have the water lines on it?

 

[fstfcs]

yes it did. The mounted right up to the t25 though.

Why?
