Ok, I FINALLY got my turbo from hrc and I plan on putting it one this weekend. So, like everyone before me I will have hella questions.

My questions so far are:

Does the check valve stay open to the atmosphere or does it run to something?

I have cruise control, and I see that the instructions say to mount it were the cruse control box is. Where did everyone w/ this prob. mount theirs?

I have heard that the hrc kit can be taped to be water-cooled. Has anyone done this? If so what is needed and how do you do it?

How far down do you cut the down pipe?

I need to get a 1-1/16" socket for the oil sensor right?

I’m sorry if these are dumb questions I have never done a turbo install before. Unfortunately there will probably be more dumb questions to come.

Thanks for your help!

When will you be home today? I'll come over and take a look at your kit.

The other end of the check valve stays open to the atmosphere. You want air to exit from the FPR under boost, but not suck air in under vacuum. You can mount you FPR on the other side of the engine bay, where some relays are. You can fabricate a bracket from 1/8x1" aluminum bar. I didn't want to move my cruise control, so I put it here:

Thats and S-FMU, but the HRC FPR fits there too (its smaller). The fuel lines easily route to the new location. I think it makes more sense than running them to the cruise control area. Run them against the firewall, behind everything.

hehehehe i did it i did it! regarding the watercooling of the center section. on the turbo...see those two allen heads in the center section that cap off those two holes. well take them out. go to your local autoparts store and get 2 barbed fittings with the same thread pitch. I forgot what they were, then get 2 brass t's i'd say like 1/4 inch ones, and i tapped one into the heater hose connection byt the thermostat( it's that hose that goes over our exhaust manifold that goes to the black pipe. then run the hose to the turbo and then out the turbo into the lower heater hose on the bottom like the same kinda connection as the upper one using the t's then now you have a water cooled turbo OH YEAH! hehe you just added some life to your turbo!!!

Rest In Peace Heidi Doggy
