There is your C word for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixalis Member 38 Member For: 11y 6m 6d Posted 09/03/19 10:15 AM Share Posted 09/03/19 10:15 AM Hi guys, I just removed the factory hardline out of my F6 Typhoon and replaced it with a braided kit from GCG turbos. I noticed that the AN adaptor that screws into the turbo does not actually feed all the way flush against the turbo, seems that the flared end of the adaptor must seal against the restrictor way before it uses all the thread on the adaptor. Does the Earls kit do the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixalis Member 38 Member For: 11y 6m 6d Posted 09/03/19 10:22 AM Share Posted 09/03/19 10:22 AM Cheers Keith, just wanted to double check that one. Does the hole in the factory bolt that holds the banjo seat over the restrictor in the turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all went quite well (apart from having to cut the old line to get it out, but that doesn't matter, does it?). I had to buy a different banjo to mount on the turbo (my Ford FGX is an ex-police unit, so they probably modified it in some way), but it all went together in the end. When I removed the fitting in the block there was no filter in it anyway, so I don't know if the police removed it or Ford when I had it serviced. The Ford agent told me it had a replacement turbo fitted about 30,000km ago, so something went wrong, and maybe they removed the filter then. So thank you very much for this post, it was very clear, and I appreciate the trouble to which you went in order to post it. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
