Advice on turbo setups :)

Does anyone know if its possible to run a oil cooler sandwich plate and a small oil filter with a dp mani/downpipe?

Also the screw to bolt into the engine as the one i have is too small by looks of it, where can i get the correct one from to fit?

no it's not. You can just about get a small filter in there without the sandwich plate. With the plate the filter touches the manifold. Get a remote filter kit as part of your hosework for the oil cooler - it doesn't add much to the cost and it's easy to fit.

you should run a remote oil filter and oil cooler kit. not sure if it would be tight on the dp gear. look at some google pics for a better idea.

thread size can be found in the stickys iirc. and should be available from ebay

Ok, I do plan on going for a remote filter seup just wasnt sure if it fitted or not.


Also where can a water feed be ran from to a turbo? Am i right that i have seen people use the small hose coming out of the side of the head thats comes forward? put a t peice into that and then a return into bottom radiator hose?

Most I've seen (and my old setup) T into the heater matrix pipework, in and out. Benefits include faster heater warmup (colder months).
