Would love to see more pictures on this setup. I would like to see how you routed the pipes as well as hide everything. I want to go turbo and am looking for a way to hide most of this as I have to do yearly inspections and I would like to make it as OEM looking as possible.

I know the DV any where thats a EVOMS DV.


lol why is it welded to the pipe?

Thanks man, appreciate the kind post about my engine bay.

How the *F did you clean up the water/vacume hoses on the driver`s side so well?

If im not mistaken, the drain line is supposed to be at a 90 degree angle, meaning that it should point straight down not sideways.

[Pl3wA]

hmm. its going down at like a 70o angle. i thought that would be enough, also i dont really have the space to do it soo.... hopefully it doesnt explode.
i dont even care tho its never gonna run :,(

I would be worried about the drain tbh. It should be as close to vertical as you can make it. I talked to a tech at Borg-Warner for awhile and that was one thing they put big emphasis on.

[TheTacoMan]

If im not mistaken it will cause issues with oil not draining and burning up in the turbo eventually killing the turbo itself.

[Kvasi]

Drain should be at the lowest point of the turbo, and the pipe as vertical, and without bends, as you can get it.

Lots of clean-up to do, but it's cold and I've been lazy. Deal with it.
