Aug 18, 2018     Turbo/Intake/Starter Fit-up - (3.0 hours) Category: Engine
Cut additional material from the 45 deg silicon adapter to relieve the clearance with the engine flange.The waste gate pressure port is very difficult to install and clamp due to interferance with the intake silicone adapter.
Purchased a 1/8" x 2" tipple to extend the hose barb, however the threading in the turbo did not seem to match.
Tried carving away at some of the rubber tube and using silicone grease but was still unable to get the clamp in place.
The starter motor edge also impinges on the intake manifold adapter. With the turbo loose on its mounts it is almost impossible to fit the silicone adapter in place. I'm guessing some fit problems are due to distortions in the exhaust manifold.
