Hey guys...i'm in the processing of my turbo install. I just finished the oil lines and fuel setup today and i'm gonna start assemblying the turbo/manifold/adaptor plate tomorrow. I was wonding if you guys could help me out with a few things i'm puzzled about.

1) What are you guys using to plug that hole in the top of the manifold.

2) The bolt holes in the turbo and manifold aren't threaded, but the adaptor plate is. What size bolt did you to attach these to each other.

I know i can find what bolts to use if i just take the time to search through bins and hardware stores, but i was hoping someone could help me so i could save some time tomorrow. Thanks for any advice.

 

what kind of turbo are you using? i put the stock o2 sensor in the top of the mani.

 

me too

 

I'm using a T3 .42/.48

 

What brand of adapter plate? What turbo?

 

wow...sorry i didn't say this in the first post, i guess i just spaced out for a second. it's a garret T3 turbo off a saab. and i'm using a BMC adapter plate. And, i'm going to use the O2 sensor to plug the hole, (should've seen that solution, guess i'm just a little tired). thanks for the help guys.

 

I'm pretty sure the holes are M10-1.25

 

i'l find out tomorrow when i try to go pick one up unless someone else can confirm this?

 

probably m10x1.25

The holes on my 14b were that metric size... and it was a bitch because I needed a socke head cap bolts. Which were hard to find in that size so I tapped it to accept the coarser m10x1.5. So its either one of those and more than likely the 1.25.

 

alright thanks for the help.
