85057, RE: question about turbo? Posted by DarkOne, Apr-19-05 10:33 AM it's a brass nipple. Feeds boost directly off the compressor housing, usually to an internal or external wastegate, or to a boost controller.

85088, RE: question about turbo? Posted by GSGoinFast, Apr-19-05 07:15 PM Originally posted by cs82685 thanks for the help guys well since this seems to be resolved so im going to jump on board and ask my own question. my turbo has another threaded port in the middle of the compressor housing(if you were to follow the snail shape, its in the middle medium sized part) and is very similar to the one for the wastegate only its smaller, and is just a hole. theres nothing there. i plan on just buying a small bolt to put in there and seal it up, but my question is what is it actually there for? its a t3 off of a saab or volvo or something like that. thanks

Posted by GSGoinFast, Apr-20-05 07:50 AM Originally posted by cs82685 you got a pic? you don't mean the oil inlet do you? no not on the center bearing section, right in the middle medium sized part of the snail shape on the compressor housing facing out in the direction the compressor intake faces. i dont have a pic right now
85100, RE: question about turbo? Posted by techboy, Apr-20-05 08:54 AM Probably just the same thing in a different location. For a wastegate or boost controller. Get a pic up, but I'm sure it can just be plugged. You don't want a boost leak.
