are they directional , meaning is there a inlet - outlet on the houseing ? or it does not matter ??? thanks .
 
Tim, you will like this turbo........ enjoy..:D

Oh .....I know :wink: . It's killing me bolting it up to my new stroker engine on the stand today , looking outside and seeing all the snow blowing around like crazy. :) thanks again .

John , your car is FLY on that turbo . VERY nice .
 
Just finished the cooling line hook up . For those looking for a alternative hook from the water pump this is how I did mine . worked like a charm and looks real "clean" . :)

Did you have to drill and tap that hole? or was it already there with threads?

That's where the "s" hose for the header core hard line hooks up to the pump . I shortened the casting neck about 1/2"-5/8", and the ID was "just about" the right size to run a 1/4" NPT tap thru ( I imagine some water pump castings may variy in size, and there is more then likely enough meat on it to drill and tap to a 3/8" NPT if you wanted) and get a half decent thread out of it . I also installed the 1/4" MIP x 1/4" FIP 45 degree fitting with some JB Weld on the threads for Ins . the only other fittings need are a 1/4" MIP x 3/8" Hose adapter and a 1/2" MIP x 3/8" hose adapter for the manifold and a few fuel Inj hose clamps . :)

So basicly no more heat cause you bypassed the heater core correct??
 
I was going to ask the same question
Maybe already removed the heater box

correct . car only see's the summer . never use the heater or have a need for it . I guess if you want to keep your heater ,the water pump could be drilled and a threaded alum bung welded to the water pump in the appox the same location and that would work as well . or maybe drill/tap the pump (should be thick enough to get a few threads out of it) . and JB Weld in the fitting .
:)
 
Here's mine, I ran the hard coolant line under the turbo instead of over

Not to get off thread, I like it there easy to adjust if I need too;)
I thought the turbo shield would fit better with the line under.
My shield has been cut to fit a TE44 anyway and the THDP
