Okay, here's where I'm at. When trying to install the entire unit(uppipe, and turbo). I beat the hell out of the firewall down below...decent amount of room there now. I'm also having a problem with clearance issues up above on the firewall/cowl; where the back of the turbo, the elbow down was hitting trying to get the whole thing installed....
I ended up taking a rockbar to that, to try to gain the clearance needed; which sucked..lol; good thing is I didn't cause too much damage(at all). Still couldn't get the turbo/uppipe, in one piece.
At that point I decided to separate the two, as I've got new gaskets....... Bad mistake with cheap tools..
Where I'm at now, is I took the assembly to the closest diesel shop, and they'll have it apart tomorrow without costing an arm, and leg. While I was there, I also wanted them to look at the turbo, which they did before I could begin to ask. As Jared had mentioned, the mechanic thought it would be best to do a rebuild; the wheel is just barely hitting the edge of the housing.
I haven't committed on having them rebuild it, but they said they could have a turn around time of a couple days. I need to get in touch with Typ4, and see how long it'd take for him to get to it.
As far as the nipple between the sending unit pedestal(ford part# 1819764-C1), and the hard turbo oil supply line(ford part#6N626), is the necessary nipple; which is ford part#606819-c1...... it should come in a couple days.
