It's Crunch Time and There Are A Few Q's Left
I have this in the FI thread too but its not getting any responses so sorry for a repost if you will....
Ok ladies and gentlemen, it's almost crunch time. Taxes will be back in about a week which means that weekend will be turbo install time. Now, here is a checklist I have made so far of what I have and what I have to get:
I Have:
FMU with proper vacuum tubes
Wastegate
Chargepipes
Intercooler
Tap for the oil pan
Line for oil return/oil feed line
Fresh oil/oil filter
turbo timer/boost gauge
Hose clamps/vacuum T fittings
Proper T tap for oil feed line from the oil sending unit
Downpipe
Obviously the turbo and manifold
I Need To Pick Up:
Charge pipe couplings
Dump tube for wastegate
Aftermarket fuel pump
Couple of misc. bolts
Can anyone think of anything that I'll need to actually get the get on and functioning? Also below are some pics that I am confused on. ON the BOV picture, does ANYTHING need to be connected to it? If so, where do they go? Or are these fittings just for vacuum/boost for the boost gauge?
I know this is the oil feed tap:
And I know this is the oil return tap:
However there are these ports that are threaded on the front and back of the turbo where it bolts to the exhaust half of the setup...it doesn't appear that anything has ever been in here but is there something that should go into these? Sorry for the long post however I want to make sure that I have everything up and ready to go because when I install this it will be over a weekend, and then 1-2 vacation days away from work to get it tuned at a tuner. Please help and thank you in advance.
EDIT** I did figure out that I need a vacuum source for the BOV, but does it go on the skinny plastic one or the thicker metal one??? and does anyone know what the millimeter is on a turbonetics deltagate mark II wastegate?? I need this info so that I can get the proper dumptube size.

Re: It's Crunch Time and There Are A Few Q's Left (bart2546)
well, first of all I'd dump the FMU and get it tuned on crome. and the fuel pump isn't really neccesary either.
If you want a cleaner install buy a vaccum manifold that will eliminate all the vaccum "T" fittings.
everything else sounds good.

This link "might" help, not sure. If it doesn't, it might help others. But hopefully it does!

Re: (BlackHXCoupe)
Thanks for the replies...I had heard a couple of times that the fuel pump isn't a necessity since I'm only going for anywhere between 200 and 250 WHP...I do plan on ditching the FMU as soon as I can, it's just the fact that I'm ALMOST stretching it down to the wire getting this all done at once (financially speaking) because I'm paying off my credit card and other misc. debts first and the rest is what's going to this. (Prioritizing is a must!) Once I save up again I'll get a chipped/tuned ECU. Well thanks for the good lucks and i'll post some pics when I get 'er done.
