Follow up turbo Q's
Okay if you read my first post then you know I recieved this yesterday:
Now I have to get that into this:
OK, enough showing off, the real question is this. I have an almost stock JDM S5 TII engine in that car, besides having a front mount now and a free flowing exhaust (apexi), but this turbo doesn't have water coolant lines. How can I make this work, can the water just be capped off? ALso the manifolds I have seen for it look like they sit a little further forward, do I need a custom DP to make this work? If so is there a place online to get one? Thats all for now, a million to Q's to follow later.

You'll need to cap the water lines on you engine. Ideally you will use a blockoff plate for the line on the lower intake, and drill and tap for a pipe plug on the water pump housing.
What flange is on the rear of the turbo? Likely it will be a v-band setup so you will certainly either need a custom downpipe or need to modify your existing pipe.
Also you'll need a new set of oil lines, a new turbo outlet pipe for the intercooler, and the supporting fuel mods.
