The Ultimate GReddy Turbo Kit Thread

^Nice, reminds me of my ordeal. Bought a used kit for a steal but then I figured out why. Downpipe and manifold was cracked. Rewelded the DP and got a PFab manifold. With new injectors and a FlashPro I still came out better than a new kit. Also had ugly paint on the charge pipes that I had to remove lol. I even had the same issue with the oil return hitting the mount. I cut the return tube just like you did but I'm still crushing the hose a bit. So far it's holding up but when I get a chance I going to get an aftermarket mount, hopefully that'll give me more room. I just have no intentions on removing everything again.
. Well my next turbo kit will definitely NOT have a log manifold as part of it. Full race ram-horn or a forward facing twin scroll is my next move. Shouldn't be as hard as this kit!

I'd like to see the dyno too. I don't have the final result of mine but here's a pic of what it basically looked like. http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/ce...r8nhi.jpg.html
I also made a vid of my build so check it out if you'd like..

Yeah this kit is tough to make big power on.
Back pressure is def 1 of the tough areas this engine flows so much air and the mani/turbo is just too small.
Anybody know what is the correct drain fitting on the Greddy 18g?
Looking so something similar to this to run to my -10 drain line:

It's strange how some people have problems with the drain and others don't! I message Pang at Pfab and he said he's never heard the problem before. The intake pipe going to the turbo as didn't fit and I had to dent it inward with a hammer several times. Whole thing was just a pain in the ass .

This isnt as good a mod as you might hope with a log manifold as the turbo sits back and quite low meaning the return line is long and more horizontal than vertical.

My oil lines from the oil filter are leaking at the 45 degree fittings. Has anyone else run into this issue? If so what are my options for repair? Is there an o-ring inside of that fitting? If so, what size is required?

but I know it's leaking because one of the o-rings is broken. I couldn't find the right size to replace it so it's just staying as is for now because the leak is minimal

So I was going to sell my greddy kit and get something else but I think I need a puddymod diff first since mine's making some funny clunking noises 
I bought a new clutch, flex fuel sensor, 2150cc injectors (got a great deal on em), fluidampr crank pulley and external wastegate. Hopefully with the power of corn juice and exhaust flow relief from the ewg I can make peak power at or above 9k instead of below vtec. I'm hoping I can get results like Louisq.
