i was wondering the same thing lol. what can i do about that? i don't even know what that is and why the intake pipe has that weld on top like that. How do you guess think i should clean up the bay?

[jwalker1.8]

I would start by looking into the thread "cleaning up the engine bay" in the 1.8t technical section...Use the search, you will find it. then look at some of lm8vette's posts in the TT section...good luck.

[bvgoosedd]

oh u guys mean cleaning everything out like taking things out. i just want to clean it like clean it. plus i'm gonna dip and powder coat things when i do rods. it'll be better in the future. i'm too afraid to just start taking things out.

That appears to be your crankcase ventilation that is routed back into the intake. You should really get rid of the kink in that hose.

Well - that's really a matter of seeing where the connection is and getting the right type of hose.

It ships there, and is express shipped back, so it really depends on how fast you get it there probably 3-4 days return if all goes well.

Clay,

The intake hoses for the TT225 have two different versions - one for the AMU and one for the BEA. If need be - can the intakes be modified to accomodate these differences so that stock hose routing can be retained? I'm not sure what the hell is wrong here - but I know that the crimped hose shown circled here attaches down low on my stock intake hose.

Will be looking into that shortly

Yup most certainly time to start deleting things in that engine bay. half of your hoses are not needed.

Are there any issues with clutch, transmission, or drivetrain problems when upgrading to a larger turbo? Should any of these components be replaced before installing your kit?

Do you ship to APO addresses?

The stock clutch is going to need upgrading eventually, but the stock 02M 6spd clutches can take a fair bit of abuse. I would suggest getting a fmic in addition to the kit. We sell those, and have pictures on our website too. You'll need fuel injectors and software in addition to the kit.

we could ship to an APO address, it may be easier to email for details: clay@ctsturbo.com

Holy crap - are the 6 speeds actually holding GT2871 and larger turbo kits for any appreciable amount of time?

[Krissrock]

I noticed that his charge pipe has line for the DV, was that charge pipe supplied with kit or is that his own?

if it is supplied with the kit, is it possible to get the charge pipe with the DV port deleted?

Don't some of the turbo's you offer have different size inlet options?
which do you use for the kits? ie 3071r

It is included, we could delete if you need it. The turbos have different inlets we supply silicon to suit the larger or smaller housings.

Any update on how it drives with the new setup? Very interested in results...

Ray has had some clutch issues recently, there are others running the basic 50trim kits, but they're not regular vortexers

[taifighter]

I'm doing my 50trim install this week. A question about the 50 trim...

The threaded inlet of the turbo is on the bottom side when it is set on the top-mount main. So, to 'clock' the turbo, do you take loose the bolts on each side of the center section (not the compressor and exhaust housings) and then rotate that section so the threaded inlet is on top? Is it just that easy?

You got it tai, check out this youtube video, it's pretty straight forward:

The bolts holding the CHRA to the housings are 13mm, so have your wrench ready, there are 6 on the turbine housing and 6 on the compressor housing.

[taifighter]

Thanks, that's excellent. One more question... the restrictor... how can I be sure I have the correct one for my specific turbo (50 trim)? Can u post a pic?
