lets hope the fuel line never even touches the turbo! hahaha.

but seriously, the electrical plug on the lower passenger side of the car is part of your PS sensor. it allows the engine to idle higher when it reaches 100% lock turning right or left. its a two wire connector that should connect right up to your SR harness. u need that sensor connected or your MIL will activate.

that fuel line, im not too sure about, so you think you can show me a pic?

im swapping mine out right now to do more work on it, so if you can show it to me, the engine is out of the car and in plain view for me to see it.

2 oil lines, a water line, and a vacuum line going into the intake (the actuator rod to intake).

i dont think any fuel lines run behind the intake manifold or engine, but if you are referring to the brake booster, then thats pretty close (its a two piece vacuum line, with about 1/2" diameter vacuum line connecting at the centerline of the valve cover).

is there any vac lines or hoses on you engine that is located beween the intake mani and the engine?

also my hose that connects from my brake boot runs towards the right of the car, but i do not know where it goes.

sorry to be confusing you, i really need help on my swap. its been almost 2months, i really miss driving it lol.

im planing on going top mount ic, do you know if customizing aluminum piping would be expensive.

the power steering sensor isn't needed. I've been running my car for 3 years without that connector attached, and I haven't had any issues.

Second off, the 4 lines on the turbo are for coolant and oil. The top one is oil feed, the bottom one is oil return. the front one is coolant in, and the backside one is coolant out.

The fuel lines should be hooked up to the motor as such. The line coming from the fuel filter will hook up to a hard line between injectors one and two. It will be below them. The fuel pressure regulator (on the front of the rail) will need a long hose to connect to the hard line for the fuel return. The hard line is located on the frame rail next to the hard line leading to the fuel filter.

More than likely the hose that runs from your brake booster to your car just got turned around. Swivel it back so it points to the passenger side of the car and connects to the check valve located in the middle of the firewall. The check valve should be attached to a metal support at the very top middle of the firewall.

Then you should have a hose that runs from the check valve to the backside of the intake manifold. There will be a vacuum hard line the same size as the nipple on the brake booster.

Top mount IC? as in the same style of IC you find in a subaru? There's no room in the engine bay for that kind of setup. You can take a front mount and mount it higher up than you're traditional FMIC mounting position, but you really need a thinner IC for that sort of setup. I put my IC up like that, but it requires that the radiator be moved back with custom brackets. You'll need to remove the clutch fan and get an electric fan for the radiator, and you'll need to fab the IC pipes. You don't NEED aluminum pipes unless you're going for bling factor. The pipes I have on mine were made from header piping, believe it or not.

thnx for the info very helpful. about top mount, i meant V mount sorry for that misunderstanding. i have a apexi ic that was cut and fab, to fit a treuno. ive tried to basically place the ic between the eninge and the raidiator, and it seems to fit.

another question, if im successfully able to do the vmount, would it be okay to have smaller fans, since the ic or ac isnt blocking it?
