Hi guys so i started it and there is no turning back now i am the oil removal point!! which sux i dont even want to take that damn thing out if ucking blows balls b/c my engine mounts are sooo fucking hard to unbolt! then i am trying to take the bolts off of the shield for the oil pan and i cant unbold the last 2 this is nothing but problems!!! with oil pan..... anyway i read somewere that you can tap and flush the oil like 3 times without taking the oil pan out and it woks out fine??? or something like that this is really agravating.. The other things is tha i have internal waste gate right... but the mani i got has the flange like right on top of the mani!! the waste gate hits the vavle cover.... Now i know external waste gate is better anyways but my question is gonna be now can i put the waste gate somewere else besides the manifold since i already have one that was mad for internal??? could the waste gate be put on the actual DP or on say the hotpipe??? somewere b/c i realy dont want to get the mani redone! well please help thank you and yes i did do research and i found out how to remove the oil pan but that way jsut waint workin for me.

Where does the waste gatehose, the turbo housing hose,and the BOVhose go to??? i hooked up the boost gauge hose to the one of the FPR hoses well hopefully that i the fpr hhaha the thing that has 2 hoses coming out of it on the top and one from the bottom that is looks like its bolted to the intake mani close to the top of the fuel rail. thanks guys hope to finish and start it up today

ok this is gonna be the one of the other bad parts about this install these damn hoses are confusing the fuckouta me! as for a DP i will have pics when i get it made i am bringing my car to "east hartford performance center" and the guy there is going to make me one for a resonable price so i have to drive my car open exhuast for like 5miles no biggy. i am still having some second thoughts though the way i moved my wastegate is fine now. but.. the linkage part of it the one that is hooked up to the exhuast flange where the waste gate is attached too is touching the VC if that lil flap canot move what does that mean??? in other words what does the flap do? that i should worry about.??

My problems......
The manifold I have makes it so the turbo can't be mounted and check out where the intercooler tubing would have to go..I don't know what to do.

you can rotate the housing just unbolt the bolts from behind the waste gate and the rest around it and just rotate it were you think it will fit best. Thats what i did but i have the problem of my exhaust side of the waste gate hitting the VC there for the waste gate wont be able to open the flap at high boost and das no good

what are you talking about hitting the vc there should only be 2 openings on the wastegate 1 that leads to the d/p and the other that attaches to the manifold. One of the nipples on the wastegate needs a vacume line hooked up and the other nipple go's to the turbo. Your intercooler pipes attach one end to the throttle body and the other end go's to the turbo but make sure you have the pipes flowing with the intercooler inlet and outlet. the bov will go on the intercoolerpipe you just weld it in there.

2002whitewrx...my wastegate is up against the valve cover and it isn't even close to lining up with the flange on the manifold. I'm sure I will have to cut the flange and have it rewelded to make it fit. I'm real close to giving up. I am having to many problems and I may just save up and get an SR.

is your car a de or e? So the wastegate is to tall? what kind is it a turbonetics? did you get a 35mm wastegate because thats what size most of the flanges are on the manifold. You may have bought the wrong size wastegate. What kind of manifold is it? Did you have it custom made or is it a rev-hard or somthing along those lines?

Ok that hose that comes off your internal wastegate needs to be t-fitted into the nipple of compressor housing and the extra line of the t-fitting needs to go to the boost controller.fade2black said:
