Looks good.... nice to see someone taking some initiative on the 1.5L

What model of turbo did you end up using?

Is it just me or does it look like the spark plugs are allmost touching the exhaust manifold ?

Perhaps it's just an optical illusion.... it's hard to tell.

How are you going to modify your plug set to avoid the massive head from the manifold from damaging your wires??

hey Adam i also noticed you relocated both cooling fans to the front of the radiator... make sure they are spinning in the opposit direction or else your car will overheat.

also Erfinder is right about those spark plug cables... they are way to close to the exhaust manifold.

keep us posted with the progress on your project and good luck.

i am not a turbo expert but that sound like a leaky gasket or so rather than too much pressure. that turbo was rebuilt...right?

Dont know about the oil pressure switch.

If the turbo is leaking oil - check the gasket on the oil return - and also check that the seals in the turbo are still good.

As an alternative (if oil pressure/oil feed is the problem) you can use a sandwich adaptor on the oil filter and T off the return hose - works perfectly. Just make sure everything is tight so u have no leaks :)

Fuel Management for me is a 1:1 Malpassi Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator using standard injectors.

With 6psi from a TD04 on the 1.5L, my setup works fine with stock computer. I do have some 2L Nubira injectors to go in so i can reduce the fuel pressure a tad.

so you'r saying you got no leaks whatsoever... tis only an oil pressure problem...right?

maybe you are using too thin oil... OK you might be using the same oil you have used for years but now the turbo is adding too much heat to the oil and making it thinner than usual.

try some heavier oil and see what will happen... again this opinion is from a guy with very little knowledge on turbos so...

BTW: didn't you have an oil cooler?? i remeber i saw it in your pics on cardomain.com... did you install that? if not try using it and see what will happen.

Autometer part number 3277 -
NITROUS / FUEL RESTRICTER
3277 - Restricts pressure spikes and excessive pressure fluctuations

Drill out the hole just a little bit when you get it, but it should solve your oil leakage problems. The turbo only needs a tiny bit of oil and you are getting gobs of oil.
