Default Hmm, is anyone up that has experience installing the stage 3? I have a question

I can't figure out how to connect the coolant return line to the turbo. Do I use the connector on the old turbo. And when you connect the oil feed line to the oil filter bracket. Does it just screw on? I have a connector that fits on the oil feed line. But none that fix the coolant return line. Or I'm doing something really wrong..
I have tom/apr cell phone, he told me to call. But I don't want to bother him at 7am but I will at 9 am
thanks if you can help..

Default no....

unless they've changed something, the coolant feed line goes into the turbo from directly above; you should have a hollow fitting that goes into the coolant hose and a brass-looking bolt that goes through the fitting into the turbo, making the coolant hose stick directly up into the air. Hard to describe, but if you post a pic of the stuff you have left I'll point it out to you.

Default Oh you mean the banjo bolts coolant feed. Yeah I got that attached to the turbo

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/7171/turbobanjo.jpg"></center><p>But what I meant was the coolant return line. The one that goes to the raditor hose on top of the engine. But here it what I have left, beside vaccum hoses. Oh how the hell do you get the oil feed line to the turbo, to the oil filter bracket. I've been trying for 30 mins. ugh..Doesn't want to seem to thread in? do you remove the oil filter bracket? or something else. thanks again boostd you're a life saver. If I have to drive my honda accord another day, I'm going to freak.. I got passed by a damm ford fiesta

Default hmm, I bolted the coolant feed line in the wrong place.. no wonder.

so to the right of the coolant feed line is the oil feed line from the oil bracket next to the oil filter. Thanks again man.. I'll try calling tom/apr again..

Default I could be wrong but...

isn't what you have pictured the coolant return side of the turbo? If so, you've got things reversed. That colth tubing goes to the coolant feed side of the turbo, which will be on the airbox side of the turbo. The side you have pictured will connect to the block, which is right next to. The cloth tubing will go from the airbox side, to the metal coolant tube rith near the bpv tube. Does any of this make sense?

Default Ouch it's making my head hurt.. Ok so the hose next to the airbox is the coolant return line?

So I take it you cut the metal connector off and attached it to the radiator hose next to the radiator. And? what did you use to attach the coolant feed line to the turbo? I don't seem to have a connector to attach to the turbo then to the engine block. Sorry for all the questions, and thanks for posting pics. You didn't run out there and snap them now? if you did, WOW Thanks!
apr forgot to send me the instructions. And I'm working off the bentley not the greatest imho. Thanks a lot.
