hi all trying to put my 2001 bugeye wrx back together
the inlet hose that goes to the turbo wont go on the turbo inlet is way to close to the tgv inlet like only 2-3mm.
my turbo carnt move across anymore as is touching engine/gearbox,
im totally stumped
its a td05 turbo and eclipse inlet,
will try and upload pics ive took.

thanks all

 

 

Die grinder on the gearbox/bell-housing bolt casting - will give you enough clearance then.

Mick

ps pics dont work

 

hi thanks for that.
turbo of again then lol
pics should work now.
is this a common problem then?

thanks merlin

 

Yeah common snag when fitting a TD05 or similar.
Just make sure you dont get any swarf inside the engine while you are cutting the lug away.

thanks for the pic was just about to ask if you had a pic so i no what im doing,
will give it a go tomorow.
how much of the lug should i take of
thanks again

 

Taking it back to the edge of the bolt hole should do it or you can take the bolt hole right out and not fit the bell housing bolt,all depends on how much 'wriggling' room you need.

Mick

 

ok thanks
