which bits? any of this help?

Thats it!!! cool....

i take it the first union (closest to block) id the turbo oil feed, and the other off the 'T' is to a gauge?

the oil cooler then runs from where you have the yellow pipe to the oil fitler head?

yep, thats correct mate. Mines a home made oil feed so is slightly different set-up but virtually the same, thick one for turbo, thin one for pressure gauge then the oil switch fits in the end.

Yellow pipe on mine goes straight to the oil filter as im not fitting a cooler on this engine, but otherwise just fit your cooler in line with that pipe.

Hope that all makes sense.

Great stuff... i can do me plumbing now! there just seemed to be a big stack of connecters, i wasnt sure about!!

out of interest, how long is the turbo oil feed pipe? may get one made up near me.

cant remember, i based it on my old one and had it made up, not that cheap though.

Can do the new oil feed kits as per avonbar etc, check out the tm shop in the "for sale" section for details.

wait until you see my bodgery well not really, but ive got oil pressure pipes and all the sencers all over i just used what pieces i could get hold of!

TurboLessTosser

yeah it is there mate, or atleast it should be!

Thats the same as the std setup bar the fact ive used a braided hose in place of the steel pipe that normally goes to the turbo (oh and fitted a t-piece to get the gauge in)
