    I was scrolling through the front page and the thumbnail "first drive in the drift truck" came up. Got all hyped up and then realized it was when you were towing it around the shop 6 months ago.

    Turn the turbo around and rise the oil return bung up around an inch so the sump oil doesn't block the return pipe, extending the life of the turbo :)

      @_Gingium_  Před 5 lety +5

      The bung on my Flyin Miata kit is a very similar location and has been for years. Oil will still drain out of the turbo. Why do you think it needs to be moved up?

    • @destin6041
      @destin6041 Před 5 lety +72

      Gingium it needs to be above the level where oil will sit in the pan otherwise it will not drain properly and cause the turbo to smoke. Especially with these cheap turbos.

    The reason why they face the turbo away from the right is because you can actually fit the AC and power steering pump, in some engines there's absolutely no space.

    If you have an issue with the turbo having clearance then you can grind off a little from the block (right under the engine code stamp) and a little off from the casting to the right of it
    With that turbo kit you can run AC and power steering that's why there's so much space on the right lol
    Also definitely shouldn't use those cheap gaskets that they include. Either stainless or Copper gasket sealant

    If those were the eBay studs for the manifold, take them out asap and replace with some from a parts store. They're super soft and will break in no time....
    (Edit- saw you guys got other ones)
