I am in the process of installing my T78. I have the English and Japanese instructions. I guess if you have a fax I can send them that way. PM me with your e-mail address, if my scanner is working I can send it that way

I did mine without instructions and I found it easy.
Start removing all your crap (stock turbos, ic, pipes, downpipe, manifold, and even pS or AC if you will.

BOlt the manifold on. place the downpipe in but dont bolt it on. bolt turbo on . bolt downpipe in, bolt wastegate.

Also you might have to loosen the back of the compressor housing on the turbo to make it fit or connect to your IC pipes.

And I had to pry the engine back a bit to get the manifold in (tight fit on those long studs.)


fmic Intercooler/ radiator is easy too, if you need help pm me.

When you take off your stock turbos you will see and have lots more room to work with.

The *greddy t-78 is not water cooled, so you dont have to worry about hooking up water lines. Simply block them off.

YOu are going to use the stock oil feed line that initially supplied oil to the twins to supply yout t-78.
. It hags over top, and even screwes directly on to the oil feed line supplied with your greddy t-78 turbo. (if you got one)

Then all you need to do is run the oil return to any of the two oil return ports on the bottom of your block. There will be one left that you didnt use, so block it off.

Somebody in this subforum has pictures of the oil and water lines. I could not get any good pictures at the moment.
Try searching, theres lots of good info on here.
