Ok, i have begun the Drag 3 install. I am working on it this minute, but i have one quick question. On the turbo, the center casing, has a hole for the oil feed line, and a hole for the oil drain line, but there is also 2 threaded holes on opposite side from each other, approximately 90 degrees from the oil feed and oil drain. What is supposed to go into these threaded holes?? TIA

 

Nobody knows??

 

TTT

 

The holes next to the oil drain hole are for the oil drain flange bolts. You can disregard the holes by the feed line hole.

 

So i don't need to put anything in them? They will be bypassed?

 

Oh, i'm not talking bout the small little holes, i'm talking about two holes that are approximately 90 degrees each way from the oil drain and oil feed, they are almost the same size as the oil drain holes, and are threaded.

 

You got a water cooled turbo with your drag kit?

where did you get this drag kit?

 

Is that what these holes are for?

Got the turbo from ImportParts.com (Groupbuy)

 

Does anybody know what these threaded holes are for, on the turbo casing? (they are about the size of the oil drain hole, just a little smaller, but there's two of them on opposite sides of the casing) I'm ready to put the turbo in, i just want to know if there's anything that needs to be hooked up, before i bolt all of it up to the head??

 

As Dustin said, it sounds like you have a watercooled turbo in which case you can run coolant lines to those holes. They look like this I assume?

That is exactly what it looks like ! Did i get the wrong turbo, or are these holes supposed to be plugged off??

 

Well, drag kits dont usually come with watercooled turbos, but it looks like you're lucky b/c it usually costs extra. You can choose to leave them unhooked if you wish, or you can hook them up to coolant lines for extra protection to your turbo, expecially if you arent using a turbo timer.

 

So this is a good thing? Now, if i choose not to use them, b/c i will be using a turbo timer, would i need to put a plug in the holes, or if i choose to use them, what all would i need to hook them up, and what would they hook up to?
Also this now has me wondering, if i got a water-cooled turbo what's to say i didn't get the right turbo? like the right A/R and the right Trim.

You would be smart to hook them up even if you are using a turbo timer. I think you can put a T into your throttle body coolant hoses......

 

Ok what size fittings would i need to hook into the turbo? Would i just use brass fittings, and regular hose, and what would i hook this to one side from the throttle body coolant hose, and then return right back into that line?
