Ok guys I am going to put the t3g`s on soon.

I seem to have a slight issue that I think I have solved but need some extra input just incase.

my main gripe is the I never got the water lines with my kit.

as far as i can tell banjo bolts are the only option.whcih is fine except the inner ones are too close to the ex manifold studs..

how did you guys overcome this?

I should have it onroad soon just want to do a good job on the water lines.I also got all the hot bits ceramic coated.

btw how is the best way to put these turbos on?

as a whole unit or bit by bit like the ct12a`s?

I was thinking as a whole unit and just put on the bolts at the head?

thanks for any info.

Hey Muzzi

I had a set of these and if i remember correctly the fit was very tight, but i think i ran the waterlines downwards on the engine side (also using banjo's). I didnt use braided hose and the line was still fine after 12 months. I would advise braided though as you can be gauranteed then that it wont fail.

Also make sure you use a propper silicone/oil reistant hose for you oil drains. I made the mistake of not and had to remove the turbos again to change them.. Lets just say i never put them back on affter that. thats when i went a single.. much easier to work on now.

I notice also that you have the case centre. I had some of lews custom dumps on mine, so i could seperate them. This probably made them a little easire to put on i guess.. (even though i still hated it).

Hope this helps mate.. Let us know how it goes.

cool mate.. I have ended up with aluminium line running off the banjo`s then using series 400 push on gates hose wrapped in a fire jacket.got hose from motorsport connections at a good price.

this is what it will look like.I dummy fitted them to the spare 1j head I have in the garage..
dumps turbine housings and manifolds have been ceramic coated also.

the oil drains i have are bolt on steel ones that look like the originals.they join to the rubber pipe near the y section exactly were the original drains fitted to.

ahh the rubber pipe.. Thats the bit i am talking about. If you can re-use the standard do so, if not then replace the little section with silicone oil resistant hose. Normal heater hose etc will perish in a couple months.

PS. that setup is looking really neat.

Also how much for the ceramic coating? i think i will go down that path one day on my turbo/dump. Looks nice and neat
