hah ^_^, ive read that turbo install thread many times haha

well, went to ptp, got a bolt that fits for the oil return line, they say the adapter for the hose to the pan comes with the greddy oil pan but i was kinda hoping not have to do that just yet so i am on the hunt for that part.

guy at ptp say " yea greddy uses a weird thread but we might be able to find a regular fitting if you take it out. so i got the oil inlet fitting out and will take it back to see if they have soemthing laying around that will fit

next part i am trying to find:
taken from mm manual


still havent bought a cobb from mm yet ~_~.

Cool man! Let me know when you are going to start the install. I would love to come over and help with anything you need, even if its a beer getter!! Granted I have never done a turbo install, but I know my way around cars and need to learn as much as I can for when I get mine. The thing Im worried about most is changing the fuel pump. Not 100% sure where that is!!!

I'm pretty sure the fuel pump is right under the passenger seat.

Lol you should be more specific. I'm pretty sure it isn't under the front passenger seat if that is what you mean. Maybe the back driver's side?

i havent taken out the back seats but i am sure there is no space to put anythign underneth as for tools to remove the pump i think a metal ruler and a hammer may work heh

not so much concern with the pump as getting to the fuel injectors, think my intake tube is only 3" and not 3.5" >_< its will work .... but its kinda anoying

I am running a stage three. I bought the stage one an slowly upgraded it with all the parts from mazsport. There is a good shop down here in south texas, mcallen, tx OJ IMPORTS. The tuning is done by BDCmotorsports found on http://bdc.cyberosity.com/main.php hope that helps. You will have to talk to Omar mena from OJ imports. Good people and very trust worthy1
