I make those lists too! Idk if it's just me but i usually NEVER end up lookin at it.
After I write it, im too lazy to read it lol. Im in a "go like hell" mood.
But i'd also retard the timing a couple degrees too when your done just to be on the safe side

Re: (ricodemus)
Yes bolt the turbo to manifold before mouting. Also a hint that weill save some time and headache. Right before you mount the turbo/manifold have a friend tighten the feed line to the flange, Prior to mounting. Trsut me its easier then doing it once it's on . To prevent exhuast leaks is use studs, lock washers,loctite and tighten well. Take your time and don't rush.

take your car in stock form to a muffler shop and get your welding done. take it off and take it home >>> now you have all the welding and parts right there to just bolt on! >>> no worries about driving in boost and blah blah blah and especially cops >>> tune tune tune before you drive like hell everywhere else

Re: Turbo Pre-install & Install Checklist - Critics Welcome (mamaboy)
for me, the problem is im running different flanges, a flex pipe, a cutout pipe and then the 2.5" Cat and back.
i dont think i could get all that welded correctly to bolt right up to the downpipe...i could be wrong...i just them to do it correctly without having everything all there

Re: Turbo Pre-install & Install Checklist - Critics Welcome (xenocron)
the pre-install oil change seems a little over the top to me. Why change the oil if you're going to have to drop the whole pan soon??

Mainly for the new oil filter...
You can re-use the new oil in the oil pan but it's $20 for 4 quarts right?

I was wondering of any advantegs of mounting the wg like that? I have a new black 38mm tial and I think I am just going to bolt it sttaight on w/o that elbow. Would this cause a prob? I am 98% shure its not going to come that close to the hood. Thanks....
PS.. Is that an inline pro mani??
