If you do need the STS install instructions, I have them in PDF format - 2 files at about 6meg each. I can email them if you want. I also have the EBC install as well if you need it.

yea if you dont mind that would be extremely nice man.

IF i can get the muffler to fit behind the turbo i would be doin good. its a 18" overall Magnaflow 6"round.
With no cats and just the turbo, that thing sounds wicked!

I cranked it up to bleed the oil line and test the pump.

Say i do away with all the STS PCV stuff, all i got to wire up is the Oil Pump. Where do i put Catch Cans and stuff. Pics would be good, because i dont know all the "Tech" names.

Thanks alot guys!!!


What sucks bad is, it took us about 6 hours to put it all on and stuff, and about 30 min later we were back to stock..

Cool

If you do away with the STS PCV stuff make sure you plug the line going to the passenger valve cover at the TB and vent the valve cover to the atmosphere or to a catch can. If you don't you will pressurize the crankcase when you are under boost. If you vent the passenger side to the atmosphere do the same for the PCV valve on the driver's side or you will draw unmetered air into the intake when you are under vacuum. Also the oil return pump will not be switched to high speed when you are under boost. This may not be a problem at base kit boost levels but will if you increase boost. The oil will back up and flood the center housing and pass into the intake and exhaust.

ogkevin13 - I think you can T off the line from the TB or from the nipple on the back of the intake manifold.

Use a good quality line and run it carefully. If the line gets cut or burnt through the waste gate will not open and you will over boost.

If you run the STS boost control do not use the plastic T that comes with the kit. Get a brass T from a local auto parts store. The plastic T that came with mine broke after a very short time.

Yes, that's where the boost reference is coming from on my set-up.
A lot of people have went this route as well.
Glad to see you are making head way.

Yes just cap it off or find a small brass screw with the same threads as the fitting that is there now.
