i bought the car with this turbo on it bout a year ago and it was never hooked up to water. i didnt know it could be till about two months ago when i sent it to majestic cuz it was fried... anyway i was wondering what is the best way to hook up water lines and does anyone know where i can get gaskets that go with the piping both on my wastegate leak bad and the one on the turbo outlet has nearly disentigrated

 

If it's an rrm kit, call up rob at rrm I'm sure he can help.

On another note post up some pics !!!!!

 

i will once she's runnin again its dirty right now were it has been setting in the garage waiting on the turbo my avatar is all i have of it, but i plan to get more

 

i got my gaskets ordered but i cannot find any fitting to hook up my water lines to the turbo. can some one plz for the love of god help me my car has been down over 3 months. its the rrm kit the the ports like quarter inch am i right? what do i need?

like I said before call rob at this number , it's his kit. He can and will help.

 

i got my gaskets from rrm and i took my turbo to BG rubber and gasket to get some fittings to hook up my water lines, rrm was just to expensive, but i ima try what i have... if it doesn't work ill go with rrm's. i noticed the other day went i was assessing my situation that my headers are warped so i may need new headers too. other than all that ive about got all the other kinks worked out and will soon be ready to go again

 

i got my car pieced back together sunday in a lil more than 5 hours. hooked up the water lines with ease but once fluid was added water leaked from the return cut in the heater hose. a simple clamp tightening fixed her up but im watching fluid levels closely... anyone got any ideas of how i could further stop any leakage that could arise again from the area?

on a side note my headers are looking questionable on the left side and i know they dont have much longer anyway due to poor manipulation of the stock headers by the previous owner. i imagine rrm could whip up some headers to accomidate my turbo, am i right? also it doesnt seem to run as well and the turbo seems to lag a lil more but it has been setting stagnent since june and i haven't driven it but about 50 miles so far. i hope it just needs a lil breaking in or possibly just some less old gas. other than that and brake rotors in serious need of turning im good to go. ill try to get some pics after i clean it up some

 

i made this thread to get help reinstalling the turbo, but now that its back my car has some power major power loss at time and i have lost oil not to mention gas milage is 100 miles less than my tank usually gets. i dont know what the deal is. i just fixed my oil leak. its cold out so i havent really been able to tell if it is burning oil so i dunno if its piston rings and i dunno if that could affect me like this.
my CEL is always on and at times when i try to spool from low in the gear (i thinks its only done it in third and fourth) i lose so much power by the time it boosts the only way you'd know i had a turbo is the blow continuously releasing.

i dont have a code reader and i dont know wether the ones at advanced would be worth a crap but i need help with this

 

At this point it would not hurt to take to a local garage or shop to have them look it over as far as install goes...and re check the fuel management system wiring.....plus it could be the tuning hard to say from here.

 

well the worst part about living here is everything ppl run around here are mucle cars. there arent any garages that i would trust with an import within a 100 miles, and actually i have no idea where one is closer than lexington. thats about 280 miles away but nashville is about an houre drive ive been looking there for places but id like an opinion from someone who knows about nashville locations.

on a side note i already had to rewire the car at the begininng of the year cuz it acted crazy from were the previous owner just taped em up.. not even so much as a wire nut. when a few came apart i saudered all of them back and put em in heat shrinks.

i have been thinking tuning could be an issue because of the not to good things i have heard about rrm's piggy over time. i have been looking into the hackish reflash for the turbo but as i last percieved it wasn't fully ready.

 

If you have everything wired up and no vacuum leaks (double check that) it should work. I am sure you called RRM for tech support.

Hard to diagnose on here.
