Aug 18, 2018     Turbo Cooling Circuit Plumbing - (1.5 hours) Category: Engine
Using a straight AN6 into an AN6 elbow didn't provide clearance with the firewall. A 45 degrees AN6 fitting was used as illustrated in the AeroVee manual. However, a 30 second operation to screw in the fitting turned into 30+ minutes as there was insufficient clearance when threading the 45 into the turbo body.
Was unable to install an AN6 45 elbow without removing material from the turbo housing. Best tool for removing the majority of material was a Vixen file to take off the edge of the edge of the housing.
