BBK install questions
Oh and real quick, couple simple things that I didnt do the first turbo swap I did that I wish I would have. You don't need to replace the gasket thats from the hot side of the turbo to the o2 housing unless is eff'd up or if you're running an o2 dump which they should provide when you buy it. Also get new gaskets for the oil return line. Gasket to the CHRA and the oil pan. But now that I just looked, you have an 8 so you should have already purchased your install so I'm pointing out sh** you already know LOL
^^ I just remember, when I used the install kit comes with everything including a new j-pipe and all new washers, etc. Like I said if you need help don't hesistate to pm me. And with what everyone else said about taking out the radiator, now that I think about it I wish I would have just to ease the installation progress but I was way to excited to get my new turbo in. Can't blame me for that LOL
Ok it's settled guys, I'm pulling the damn radiator!
Funny thing is I just replaced my throttle body and damn near leaked all the coolant out onto my garage floor. So I just put some fresh coolant in there and went through the "burping" process, which is why I was hesistant to do it again
However, since all you guys have done the swap and recommend it, I'm going to just pull the damn thing.
I have the install kit so I should have everything needed to make it happen.
Hopefully Ivey can squeeze 400awhp out of this bad boy. I have all supporting mods (FMIC, Cams, etc..) The turbo is a BBK Full ported & coated.
Edit:
I'm also going to replace the radiator hanger bolts at the top, my current ones look absolutely terrible.
