wrx td04L/oil feed Q's
just wondering if there's anything to look out for when using a TD04 from a WRX with regards to oil lines.
i will be teeing off the pressure sensor. What diameter hose should I use and what size is the oil inlet fitting/thread on the turbo(i've found other posts on this but i couldn't find a clear answer).
do i need some sort of restrictor in the feed to prevent oil passing the bearings!
also, what size is the return
help me pop my forced induction cherry

The oil feed size is m10x1.5. Clocking the damn turbo is a bitch...still haven't been able to do it yet. Need to get a set of huge heavy duty snap ring pliers first. For the drain size I would say should be at least a -10 line and the feed I would go with a -3. With a -3 feed line you should be ok without a restrictor. Also I was never able to find a restrictor that would work with this turbo so i went with Stealthmode's ball valve.

get a set (big and small) cir-clip pliers at sears, after the clip is off remove the compressor housing. remove the retaining pin from the housing. for the turbine side remove the big v-band like clamp then tap the housing off with a hammer (tap not hit). Remove the pin in that side and put back together. BTW you'll need 2 people to get the compressor c-clip back on, one to use the plires and one to push it down into place

i ordered the t25/14b oil feed/ return kit from stealth, the only thing i used was the tunertoyz block fitting. nothing else fit. i was using two bolts welded together for the turbo oil inlet fittng, then i finally found the right size from fast-turbo. using a
-4/10x1.5. also using an hf mani w/bmc adapter plate. exhaust housing on the left, if your using a big downpipe make sure you leave room for the clutch nipple thing. i've got a 3" dp, had to hit it with a ball hammer to clear that nipple.
other than that, the turbo is awsome, you can easily adjust the wastegate arm if you dont have a mbc. spools very nicely.
