    New turbo question....

    The new turbo we bought is not water cooled. What is the best way to remove/reroute the water lines? Also, I need to get new bolts for the manifold and downpipe. What grade and material is best for these?

    Also just noticed it's clocked 180 degrees off. Not happy about that.

    After a second and third look... this turbo is going to have to go back. It's supposed to be new, but is very obviously a (poorly) rebuilt unit. Housings are rough and the outlet is chipped. Bummer.

    I'm planning to get a better turbo soon enough, so I simply connected the outlet / inlet and bypassed the turbo with a single hose.
