New turbo purchased...Need help on setup
I have an AGP HP66 turbo (.82 A/R, DBB T3, 4" inlet & 2.5" outlet) on the way and need some input on installation and what needs to be modified. I already know a slim puller fan is required, but what other bugs or fitment issues might I run into? Now onto the manifold...I want to run a cast manifold as it will be a daily driven street car. I have been torn between the Hafe and Tomei manifolds until I found the Rev-Hard manifold on Ebay. I searched and found a thread on it but I need some feedback on it compared to my other two choices. I need to know which manifolds will clear my A/C and power steering and allow me to run a full 3" DP. Next what will I need as far as fittings to plumb the oil and water lines? Finally, I was just planning on just doing a custom setup on the exhaust outlet, o2 bung, downpipe connection and licp. Is there a company that already has any of these parts pre-made to help me out? I called TurboTrix who sells a kit with this turbo but they weren't very helpful as I guess this is a fairly new turbo. Also if anyone has happen to run this turbo on a 2.0, any info as far as spool characteristics and power with my setup (listed in signature) would be greatly appreciated. Tons of pictures would be awesome. I have a few but I'm sure someone has something better. Thanks guys,
Robert

You should be able to use the stock water lines, you just might have to bend em a little to fit. I'm pretty sure you can get the oil feed, and return setup from Buschur, but I may be wrong.... Most kits that i've seen that use a cast manifold, and 3 inch DP have no trouble clearing A/C, and the power steering pump. Post some pics of turbo when you get it..
Bump...Come on guys help me out!
