So I pulled the head an turbo at the end of last season, and, well, three very young kids and life etc. kept me from putting it all together until now, and I've forgotten a few things. Specifically, the outlet from the block just right of the AOS bottom port--what covers this port, and what locks it in? I'm stumped. Any thoughts/input appreciated:

 

nothing goes there

 

Yup. Machined, but its a dead end.

 

flux capacitor

 

I knew that picture looked familiar, thats from when i pulled my turbo! Had to check my 'archives' .

 

Yep, your pick--thanks brother. Thanks for all the quick responses. Got the flux capacitor and warp drive relocated to passenger's side rear wheel well.

 

Replace that turbo oil drain/vacuum hose elbow while you've got the AOS out. LR sells a silicone one, but you have to cut that old metal sleeve off the hard line. It's easy to do with the AOS out of the way, and it'll be one less thing you have you think about if your car ever starts smoking at idle... It's $10 well spent.

Matt, do you know if the silicone hose for the turbo oil drain piece comes with LR Silicon Master Hose Kit? I recently bought it and didn't want to cut off the metal sleeve until i knew it could be replaced.

 

Good Advice.

...when I ordered my hoses back in the summer, I didn't get the master kit because I didn't need a few hoses like the expensive J boot, so I ordered a-la-carte. Unfortunately, I forgot to add that hose, and it bit me in the rear later. But, since the rebuilt turbo blew up a few weeks after I was back on the road, I had the turbo out again soon anyway. It was a pain to cut that sleeve off with the AOS in place, but I got it out with a right-angle die grinder.
