    Yet more turbo questions!

    Following the incredibly helpful and detailed advice from Dougal in his turbo performance prediction thread,(thanks, Dougal ) I now have a shiny new TD04HL-19T sitting on the desk in front of me, and a manifold on its way.

    Looking at the large number of turbo install threads on here has left me pondering a few things, the most pressing of which is where to get the oil feed for the turbo. As far as I can tell there are at least four options;
    1. tee off the vacuum pump feed.
    2. tee off the oil pressure switch port
    3. use one of the plugged ports of the oil gallery near the pressure switch port
    4. change the filter mounting to turbo type with the tapping for oil feed.

    Having just bought a dozen genuine filters for the single spin on mount I don't really want to go option #4. any thought on best of the other 3, or indeed any solution I missed?

    Hi jackz,

    I have also just purchased a TD04HL-19T and it arrived a few days ago. What brand did you go? I have the Kinugawa.

    I would have thought (1) was by far the easiest option and from the turbo build threads I've read, the most popular. Mine came with a different turbo, which I'm changing so I already had a turbo oil feed, which from your list is (3). I can take a photo tonight if you wish.

    Will we be seeing photos of your build progress? Please say yes.

    Also, have you sorted out a manifold adapter? Or is your manifold a T2 flange?

    Went for the kinugawa, got hit with the $100 price rise, but waited for the 5% sale they have near the end of each listing. Got onto a genuine manifold for around $250 delivered, and am going to use Dougals design of adaptor.
    Still waiting on shipping quote for a McNally dual boost/egt guage from the U.S.
    When it comes time to do the exhaust, will probably do a 3" exiting just forward of the rear wheel-arch.

    Hahaha...it's funny how one thing leads to another and before you know it, you're turning it back to factory condition.

    haha i had to replace my speedo once.. turned into a firewall replacement and total rewire. And a short in my starter motor turned into a turbo install.
