Start putting aside for a new clutch. My prediction - current stock clutch will burn out within a month of turbo installation ;)

But what a fun month it will be.

Think he's got an exedy in there already, should hold for a little while.

Hi guys, started fitting the turbo today and in true fashion have run into a couple of issues.

The first is that the turbo intakes don't match up. There is no nipple at the top of the new pipe, but there is one at the very start that has the same size barb.

This is where the hose comes from that goes to the last barb on the stock intake. Will it be okay to buy a new piece of longer hose to run to the start of the intake pipe or is that going to create issues?

You will also see that it is hard up against an outlet of the turbo, I can just get the pipe on there but have to bend the hoses over a little and they will sit right on each other. Is this acceptable?

Thanks for any help, everything else has gone pretty smoothly so looking good overall.

EDIT: Found instructions from another inlet with the same design and found it is normal to relocate the crank case breather hose to that location. All set, I'll just get some hose tomorrow
