    Turbo install

    So I’m finally getting around to installing the factory turbo kit I got off Russ almost 2 years ago and I’m having some issues. I can’t get the up pipe from the turbo to slide down into the wye. I tried it first with the studs screwed in the center housing for the oil drain mount and the wye...

    Intake backfire?
