What are the recommendations on this?
Is it best to mount the turbo onto the exhaust manifold and then install the adapter flange from Quadstar with the 5 bolts between the turbo and the downpipe? The LH rear bolt is giving me a LOT of trouble - simply cannot access it. If I run the bolt up...
Has anyone used this combination successfully?
I saw this where a guy has one but I believe he said this is an A-Team turbo so I suppose the center axis of the turbo is closer to the stock height.
I'm having a hard time finding much on the air filter box side of things when a HX40 is used...
How about this?

is 47 ft. lbs correct for the filter adapter bolt? That seems like a lot. I was under my truck earlier and stopped until I could confirm that is indeed the spec. for the '95. Felt like I was going to break something with that much.
He put up with my mess since August 2022. I suppose it is wearing on him. I have a pile of parts still sitting on the floor that I can't wait to see gone either...
He's been patient.
I learned i need to buy an underhood bulb for my '95 the other day. Because my hood was open I decided to take it out and put it on the bench where I was working. That was evidently the day the bench needed cleaned off by someone so it found it's way to the trash. (Thankfully my new turbo was...
This might sound elementary, but...
Have you tried other oil brands to find the same situation? It's a different animal but I ran Castrol brand oil in a relatively fresh Vortec 350 many moons ago and at idle, the oil pressure would drop to nearly zero when warm. As soon as I kicked the idle...
Copy that, Les. Delayed response but I'll see if I can get this done before going further. Nothing else seems to work. For years, I push the dome light switch a few times and headlights go out. Still no DRL, however.
What is a good choice for a turbo blanket? This came up in a thread @n8in8or posted - tz31847-g3. Still a good choice for a HX35/40?
Should I be covering the adapter pipe also out of the back of the turbo, to the downpipe? I don't want to take a chance of melting my hood and there is no...
Well, mine has a crush washer now. If anyone wonders, the split side goes toward the bolt head. This is from referencing the bolt in the adapter from the HMMWV adapter.
Do you have any rat runs above the ceiling? They make it easier for doing any sort of maintenance or for when you run lights, etc. I see you have your electric ran up there, but just in case.
You can lay a 2x6 or 2x8 on its side between the trusses and it gives you a place to walk. Screw...
