Much hard work because I left the manifold on!!!But I have an issue. The actuator is touching this coolant pipeWhat's the best way to bend this pipe out of the way. I've tried pushing it but it won't budge Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91156-turbo-might-be-stuffed/page/6/#findComment-1564188 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it effect the actuator working properly to move it? It was all set up when I purchased it I was hoping not to mess with their setup.

My next question is, how do I prime the oil feed line. I assume I unplug the coils and then crank it over for 30 seconds or so. Or is their an easier way? Also should I add assembly lube to the turbo bearings just to be sure? Finally has anyone ever run their oil pressure sender on the outlet side of their earls oil filter so you get an alarm as the filter gets blocked. I know it would aesthetically look crap but might be practical??

Hmmm It's only just touching. Maybe I could grind the edge off the actuator!!!! I just need 2mm Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91156-turbo-might-be-stuffed/page/6/#findComment-1564620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
