Need help installing big 16g evo3 turbo

[TSIAWDTURBO]

I took the car to the mechanic to get my turbo installed.he calls me later and says that he can't hook up the turbo cause the fuel line to the turbo that connects to the side mount intercooler won't connect.I ordered the turbo online and it says it bolts right up.so now what part do I need?from what I understood the fuel line is ment for a front mount intercooler.what should I do ???

There is no "Fuel line to the turbo"...

Only an Oil Feed/Return line and Water Feed/Return line

Huh? There is no fuel line that goes to the turbo, there is a oil feed line and return line and coolant feed and return lines. If you have a 2G you must buy the 16g install kit. Also wouldn't help for you to do a little research as this has been covered more than probably anything asked on the forums. If your talking about the J pipe, you need a different one.

Yea I got the install kit.and it is a 2g...so what j pipe do I need ???why is the one I got no good ??

And he said fuel something won't connect to my side intercooler

 

[dsmdeliveryboy]

Which install kit did you get? If anything you should just need a different coupler, but I'm pretty sure you shouldn't..

I got the one that came with the turbo .the black jpipe and another small black thing.not sure what it is .is that the wrong kit??

 

[dsmdeliveryboy]

Where did you buy the turbo from? Is it a Ebay turbo? I think your mechanic might just be an idiot.

If your gonna spend the money to get an EBAY turbo/kit....spend the extra to get the actual e316g, you shall find out the hard way
and also as far as your mechanic, get your car back and do not let him mess with it, hes an idiot. Your still on the side mount route you say..?

 

[TSIAWDTURBO]

I got to talk to him and see what's not right.I jest want to kno what part I'm missing to hook it up

 

[92AWDHX40]

Well a majority of use oem turbos maybe thats why were trying to figure out what your missing.

 

[EclipseTical]

The j-pipe you have is meant to connect to a FMIC not your stock sidemount.

you're going to either need to get a different J-pipe that will discharge towards the passenger side like the COP-E from DEJON or you will need to get creative with a 90* coupler and some spare pipe.

 

[92AWDHX40]

yep the j pipe is for fmic install, youll have to figure a outlet pipe that fits your set up.

 

[TSIAWDTURBO]

Ok thanks guys.I'll jest buy one for the side mount

 

[92AWDHX40]

There you go, good luck with that turbo.

I bought an eBay turbo kit and all i had to do to get it connected to the intercooler was 2 couplers and some clamps. Ill try to find some pics of the setup i have.

If your turbo came with this type of piping, then it should hook directly to your intercooler. The only thing you'll need are two couplers- you can either buy two pieces of new straight hose from a parts store the proper size, or hack your existing lower intercooler hose and make couplers out of it.

Ah looks like you have your pipes.
