it's 3 inch in to 4 inch wide.. im going to pie cut up a new one i think...
all i got left it to figure out what do with with my coolant out of the turbo, and chop and cut the down pipe... and fuel pump stuff for boost, tho fuel setup would be ok out of boost.

Nice,I like what your doing.it like how you welded your oil drain to the front cover. You can leave the coolant lines not hooked up,but I would get something to plug the holes where the lines go on the turbo

It looks a little different from the one pictured, but the features are ideal. 5/8" nipple with 3/8" NPT. Worked perfectly. Nice large ID for easy oil flow. I install it down on the somewhat horizontal flat area below the OMP. Not the vertical area where the factory 12AT oil return was.

if you notice my oil feed and my drain are exact factory of a turbo II and this is the only way i do things. even when it comes to an after market turbo i want factory type hard lines, no rubber.. ever. its just my standard mainly because next is its for sale.
yes i had to pull the front cover and keep the clutch pressed it whle the hub was off, yes i broke my first attempt out of frustration.

Yaaaay another turbo nikki.
I guess I'm the redneck that just took the coolant lines off and didn't stuff anything back in the holes.
What kinda I/C piping are you using? I was thinking about just getting some 1 & 1/2 inch exhaust pipe and using that stuff for mine.

Dunno if you are the first to put a regulator on a carb, but I don't see it being an issue. I've always seen them on the firewall. To be honest I wanted to mount it closer to the carb, but I never saw any mounted on the engine itself so I went the road often traveled and mounted it on the firewall (baaaaa baaaa I'm a sheep). I like the metal lines you've got going on there looks sharp.
EDIT: Got a fuel pressure gauge?

why, what if it doesnt leak fuel without the annealing.. what if copper annealed is as hard as aluminum not annealed...
i dont see the need for changing the hardness of the copper, as i never have before on brake calipers and you are talking 1500+psi with brake pressure....
please enlighten me. :P
i did some searching... annealing makes it SOFTER.. not hardened.. and people do it to used ones make reuse them... i am using new copper.. no worries. but good to know.
oh you meant the ones for doing the jet change.. you cheeky basterd.. im gonna go new on those too, got like 1000s of washers..
