ok guys heres the dilemma... i purchased a 1995 GST last summer and have had nothing but problems... when i tore it apart because it wouldnt start i found out a nnumber of things...
#1 the tranny bolts were all busted off and the clutch was friend and smashed into about 12 pieces...
#2 the pistons were coooked on top as well as fried rings...

so i rebuild the engine and bought a new clutch and have everything put back together to find out that i have no oil feed line to go to the turbo... apparently it got broken when the engine was pulled out but it alwasy leaked really bad...

so i need some help
i have a TD05 turbo 16G on the intake side of the turbo it says

TURBOCHARGER
TYPE: TD05
ReNO: KD090002456

ive ordered 2 sets of banjo bolt kits and neither one fits it...
i ordered the 10mmX1.25 and the 12mmX1.25

im not particularly sure what brand this turbo is so its makin finding the correct size bolt a big pain in the ass...

so if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated...

so ive been told... but idk what to do... ### i dont have money for a new turbo for one and the car doesnt even have a boost controller or anything like that so before i decide to buy a new turbo i wanna get a boost controller for sure and hopefully dsm link...

but my main concern rite now is the oil feed line
 
Thats deffinately an ebay 16G. if I remember correctly the Banjo bolt is a 14mmx1.25. if I go out in the garage later Ill dig out an old ebay turbo ive got and check for sure

Don't get a boost controller unless you have proper supporting mods or at least a way to monitor your engine before you turn up the boost.

Just run wastegate pressure.
 
well its not a 14mm ### i had bought a 12 and it was too big...

next i wanted a boost controller to regulate 12 lbs since its a fresh motor... i have the stroker kit in it and its all fresh with an APR crank cradle and APR head Studs Wiseco pistons new rods and bearings...

how do i know how much pressure the wastegate will allow??? i know its with the tension of the spring but how do u tell
 
Then use your foot as your boost controller, you shouldn't go WOT during the very first period of break-in anyway.
You don't know what your wastegate pressure is. It's E-bay china crap - there is probably so much variance in them.
Internal or external wastegate - whatever the original spring/setting is, is lowest possible boost under full load. A boost controller will not turn it "down" past the spring setting.

Anyway, maybe doing some research on people who run internally gated 16g Ebay turbos would know.

Otherwise External wastegate springs are color, size, and quantity(1 or 2 springs) coded by the manufacturer. Mainly color though.
 
turns out the banjo was a 12 mm... got the car running for the first time today and it ran great for about 15 mins but would idle to save its ass... then it nvr started up again and i have oil sprayin from somewhere like crazy on the drivers side of the engine...

i also noticed that im missing a cam sensor plug in... anyone know where i can find that
