Hey guys. Test fitted my S475 today and it doesn't look like it's going to fit. The turbo is hitting the dipstick tube and I think it will hit the oil fill tube. It looks like the cold side will be resting on/near the bottom rad hose. Anybody else have any problems like this? I think I may have underestimated the amount of work it is going to take to make the turbo fit...

 

Pull the fill tube off and run just the cap, hand bend the dipstick tube until it's the right fitment and add some reflective wrap on ur cold piping where heat may be touching

 

Oil fill tube doesn't just twist out like some. You have to take off the valve cover and pry back a plastic tab. I don't think that would help me though as it looks like the cap wouldn't fit in the hole. I'll try bending the dipstick tube to get some clearance.

Is anybody running a BW S475 on a KB manifold? What did you have to do to make it fit?

 

The tube twists out. It has a locking tab that will either break and fall straight down on top of the head bolt.
Or breaks loose and comes out with tube.

Pulling a cover if freaking easy as well. Lol

Depending on year model. The cap might not screw back into valve cover.

 

I'm running that turbo and that manifold on my truck I took the fill spot off and my cap screws right into the valve cover. Might have to tweak the dip stick and the AC line a bit and move around the coolant lines a little but it will fit.

 

Thanks for the encouragement, Kyle. After I moved the heater lines around, bent the A/C lines a bit more, removed a bracket and bent the dip stick tube, my turbo is now sitting in its new home. I got the intercooler piping almost done. Just need to do the oil supply line, oil return, fab the downpipe, add the wastegate to the x-over, figure out an intake elbow solution and button up the vacuum lines. Getting closer to firing this pig up!
