Thanks for that tip

You can use the 90 on top if you want, but IIRC, I ended up making a loop in the hose that ran it down and around so I could run both of the hoses together into the engine bay. I didn't like the loop, so I swapped it to a straight fitting and it did the trick. Keep an eye on the hose too. I used another brand socketless hose and it ended up cracking in the heat. I wish I can remember what brand it was, but it was black and made in the USA (picked it up at the local hose store). I haven't had an issue with the Aeroquip hose, but the only stuff I could get locally was blue (and I'm not very happy about that!). One of these days I'll replace it with black hose.

I know you're a stickler for details and noticed you have brass fittings on your waste gate. I believe McMaster has them in stainless. Aluminum ones are available from various vendors too (Aeroquip, Earl's, ect).

Hi Eddie - go easy on my boy Reno....he's angry because he has to remove the front of his new car to change the timing belt.
This takes a long time....and Spanish boys are short on patience.

Where has all the knowledge gone ?
I still am wondering why anyone on the East coast would answer a post at 1:07 AM in the morning on a weekday. I guess I am the only one who has set an alarm that goes off early in the morning to go to work. Must be a question for the West coast folks.

I think the reality is that Ed is one of the very very few original owners on this board and, as a result of that and his OCD, is looking for a higher level of detail than just about everyone else. When Ed asks what kind of bolt goes into a certain hole, there is no point in telling him to search. It's annoying and not helpful to him. He is not asking for the size, which has been posted a hundred times -- he's asking who manufactured it and how it was finished from the factory. (Think I'm kidding?) When he asks about wastegate brackets, he's not asking how to install a wastegate -- he can do that -- he's asking about the specific factory part variations that he's seen so he can adopt the most appropriate factory approach. Some folks seem to get all that, and others clearly don't.

Ed sometimes forgets that the regular humans have to sleep.

Not only the 928 is faster when driven backwards but it also looks better
