This "easy" mod has been a complete nightmare. I took out radiator, unbolted manifold to get enough room to take the oem balance shaft bolt out. Finally got it out after 2 hours or so. Prep my hose, my Megan o2 housing is blocking the path. I switch a straight fitting with a 90 degree fitting, still no go. I even tried just connecting the hose straight to the bolt and still couldn't get it in. I hear a lot of people on here did this mod, what exactly did you do to get this to work? FP Black turbo, so it isn't a front face or anything like that. Just stock location everything pretty much. I do have the balance shaft delete kit so should be "simple" as screw it in, connect an fitting and run it to catch can.

 

It is really close to a stock framed turbo. I ended up using a low profile fitting but it was still a huge PIA just to get the fitting on the adapter coming off of the block.
I took the turbo out and then out and then put everything on but it had to be orientated just perfectly not to touch anything.

 

Thanks, was it something like this then?

Wish I would have known this before starting this project.

 

Think I ended up using a 45 due to the angle but honestly I don't remember.

 

Thanks, anyone else? I don't want to have to purchase a 90 and 45 at 20.00 a pop.

 

When I was still on a bottom mount turbo kit, I was going to use a -6an banjo fitting with a steel line as I was having the same clearance issue.

 

first i've heard of this. what's the purpose? sorry if off topic, i'm just curious.

 

Extra crank case ventilation.

A banjo would limit the flow but is definitely a lower profile.

 

oooh. interesting, except it seems to not work with stock-framed turbos. i would like to keep pressure out of the crank case, though. assuming this works better than venting the valve cover?

 

It does work but it is a real PIA to get the fitting on it once it is in the block and turbo in place. I guess each situation is different but it takes a bit of messing with and trying different fittings.

With my new setup I am not using it. I think it may push a decent amount of oil out of it. But it definitely adds block ventilation.

 

awesome, thank you.

 

I'm getting a little closer. From reading it's either 120° or 150° fitting. It would have been so easy if they added this to their kit.

 

I'm using it with a stock location Borg Warner and it's also very close but I didn't have any issues putting it on.

 

Do you remember what angle fitting you used? That's my issue

 

I'm using the 90* that came with it and have it pointing down
