Single Turbo Installation Instruction/Guide

Ok I bought a Single turbo kit TO4Z from a particular RX7 Store, but they didn't include any type of instructions on what lines go where etc. The main bolting on part is of course a no brainer, but it would be nice to make sure that the particular lines are going in the right place, THE 1st time. When I bought it and found no paperwork, I asked if they could send me some and they said they would...some time past and I recently asked again and now they claim they don't have any. You'd figure if you spent several thousand dollars they could include a piece of paper with itemization or explanation or even a PDF file that could be emailed.

Does anyone have a PDF file on an installation like this? Or a rough guide on what to do? Also I have these block off plates that I have no idea where they go yet. Plus I am not sure what solenoids get deleted or capped off or where all the vacuum lines will go after conversion.

Anyone have experience with this?

They didn't include instructions because this isn't an amateur job.

Make sure you've got all the supporting mods, going from stock twins to a T04Z is a big jump. Also make sure you block off all of the sequential nipples/solenoids.

get to readin' .

Here is something that might give you an overall picture of what you're about to embark upon, but it is for a GT35R turbo so I wouldn't follow it verbatim!

If you fully understand how your stock twins work, installing a single is easier.
Not a newby project!

If you have any questions on the routing of the lines call me or send me an email. Take me a couple of minutes to explain how its routed.

I am not an amateur/newbie with cars; I do all my own work and will do this swap myself too. I have changed/removed the stock twins a couple of times too, so I have the mechanical inclination on what to do. This will be my first single turbo conversion however. My thinking was that some type of instructions would make the swap smoother and less confusing on the small stuff of what goes where or what hooks up to what.
