Turbo install problem need help asap

[captd108]

Hey everyone, so i finally got around to upgrading the t25 to a b16g. So far everything is going smoothly, all the manifold and o2 and other bolts came out surprisingly easier than expected. Everything was going great until i came across the t25's oil feed line that goes to the oil filter housing. I have a ss oil feed line to go in its place but i cant seem to find a way to remove the oil line from the oil filter housing. Im afraid of rounding off the head and not being able to get it out so what can i do? Anyone have any tips? Also the other thing i was concerned with is how do i get the mani-turbo stud and turbo to o2 stud out of the turbo? Thanks for your help guys.

I have the exact same question, I'm at the same point in my big 28 install.

As for turbo-mani stud, you don't necessarily need to have that out if you replace that with another bolt, which is generally a good idea. If you absolutely need it out, do the PB --> torch --> vice grip and twist it out cycle..but try to be gentle, because they tend to break. www.vfaq.com has good stuff on this.

edit: if you do get this out, could you also measure the size of the female fitting on the oil filter housing? I need a male-male connector to fit my oil feed line to the female fitting of the housing, but I don't know what size it needs to be and I can't get a measurement

yea i pretty much need that bolt since i dont have a replacement but i guess ill try that i sprayed that thing down pretty well for the night. more importantly though is the oil filter housing bolts.
