ATS turbo ID?

[DeepRoots]

thats the collector pipe not the downpipe.
the downpipe is on the floor next to the crossover.

Yup, thats the inlet for the gasses. Its definitely a pre-turbo position. I have my pyro sensor there and I see no problem with that location. You are going to have to pull the Y pipe to install it in the truck. Its an interference fit that tends to get very stiff after a while, but some minor heat will get it out. My kit didn't come with the oil line or valve cover, its worth getting those....

Seems to be in good shape, the bent pipes don't appear to be rusty.

Oh okay, now that I look at it more I see what you mean. Just not used to that alien setup that ATS fabbed up. I'll see if my autometer probe will fit into the bung, if not I'll plug my gauge into the probe that's already there.
Where did you get your oil line? He said it's kinda banged up but he'll get it anyways, atleast I could use it as a mock to get a new one.

The truck lived it's life in the south so it's rust free. Probably take some degreaser & a wire wheel to some of the junk then give it a coat of BBQ paint to seal it up before winter.

I ended up making my oil line out of 5/16" steel line and wielding on a fitting on the turbo end with a double flair fitting on the engine side. I was kinda stuck with mine and didn't have an easy source for an oil line. I do not recommend trying to make a line like I did because mine kept cracking. Its holding now after my dad showed me how to prevent the embrittlement that was happening.

The T4 center section on the T04B turbocharger that this kit uses is VERY common and any turbo or performance supplier should be able to get you what you need.

My oil line is a braided stainless fuel line off of a helicoptor, if I remember right . Russ made it up from of those fuel lines they had laying around at his work.

What kinda filter setup are you guys running with this turbo? I don't exactly want to use the stock box.

 

[david85]

I'm using the stock filter box (model 085 air box)

 

[Cat_Rebel]

You get the filter from a normal parts store?

Yup. Part numbers are cast into the inside of the box for Fram or K&N filters. I got the K&N because I like the idea of cleaning instead of throwing filters away.

Okay here's a question, where did you hook up the boost gauge to?

Okay here's a question, where did you hook up the boost gauge to?

My kit already had gauges with it and the boost fitting was located in the intake snail right next to where the turbo compressor outlet slides in. Seems to work fine.

Any pics of it?

Here's the way it mounts on a waste gated 093

Any pics of it?

Thanks, looks like I'll have to drill & tap it.

 

[david85]

I've got pictures of mine too but the dam cell phone won't upload to the PC with while its charging (stupid POS).

I'll try and get them here as soon as I can, but the location that manky shows is a good one as well.
