Title: Doing my single tubby conversion this week - Advice or pointers??
Post by: Welsh Dan on November 20, 2005, 07:28:57 PM
As above.

I\'m doing my single turbo conversion this week and just want a few pointers or reminders as i\'ve probably forgotten something, lol. The car is running parallel turbos at the moment, so i\'ve already gotten rid of a load of the solenoids and blanked off a load of the emissions bits.

As for the bits i\'ve got (or need to pick up this week), I have;
the turbo
the turbo manifold
wastegate
v-band flanges for the downpipe
-4an oil feed
-10an oil return

As for stuff that I know I have to do;
I have to get the downpipe made up, along with the new intercooler piping
Connect the old turbo coolant feed to the return pipe
Blank off one of the oil returns

What else do I need, or do you have any advice? I\'m a dab hand at taking the turbos off, so i\'m hoping to get everything done (apart from the downpipe) within about a day or two.

will -10 be big enough for your oil drain? I re-used the original front oil drain pipe (chopped the flange off) but found -10 was too small to fit over it. -12 was perfect.

That was one of the parts that I had to pick up, so that can be changed to a -12 in that case. Thanks :)
