okay well i pulled apart my twin scroll 16g, and tried to clock the housing... heres my problem.

the damn cold side is keyed, with a little cylinder so that you are supposed to only have the turbo facing one way, its stupid ****. has anyone dealt with this before? i assume i just cut another keyway out where i want it to sit and im cool, but im not positive and dont want to start molesting my turbo if im going to do something wrong.

thanks in advance

The DSM guys just grind off the little stud and then you can rotate as needed on 16G's. Not sure on the twin scroll version though.

 

okay cool yea i was making sure that people did that, i didnt think there would be a sealing issue but just checking, thats what im going to do...

 

okay once again i need a little help from the 16g guys... i need to know where to get the fitting for the oil feed, its some metric thread i think, i have no clue really and the turbos been at the machine shop for like a week so i havent had time to check it out...

if you can just link me somewhere thatd be cool, thanks

Check DSMtuners.com. They're all 16G freaks.

 

i had a local pipe and fitting place make me one for my 16g. They were a plumbing place but they deal with the same thing all the time they said, so maybe there is somewhere like that around you?

 

Hahn racecraft has a -4 to metric fitting if I remember correctly. I got a -3 to metric from one Flamenco(?) oil line vendor on here. Had to order the 14b turbo inlet fitting if I remember correctly.
