I KNOW you can use the CA outlet, as that is what is bolted to my S14 turbo right now. AS for the inlet, I had to have one made. What I did was take that oval gasket that goes on the front of the turbo down to a machine shop, and the suction pipe for the CA and told them what I was trying to do. 30min and $30 later, I had a suction pipe.

meanwhile ....anyone have the inlet elbow.??
ok so i have the elbow now WOOT...NOW
i know a few people on here have installed the s14 turbo...but no one has ever said anything about using an oil restricter ...did a lil research and found that the bb turbo doesnt like all the oil pressure the stock lines give it....how can i fix this if im using the stock lines...or do i have to use an aftermarket kit (i have one but it needs to be modded to fit and i dont feel like doing all that...
anyone wanna shed sum light?? please

Re: (8ggalant)
kevin, havent forgot about you! your restrictor will be there monday/tuesday. tapping the block is super super simple to do. you unscrew that 90 fitting thats in the block and then run the tap in like 1/2in if that. doesnt even really leave any metal in the hole.. if you want i think i still have the tap i used i can send it out to yah. let me know , i dont want to you to have wasted that money on the oil kit.
also i might have a flange that fits the inlet of the turbo but i dont have my old compresor housing to check it on any more..

Re: (float_6969)
he bought one of our aftermarket oil line kits. i just dont want to see him spend the money and not use it. i guess if he chooses to use the stock lines he can sell the kit.

Re: (float_6969)
