No luck so far. I have the connector end views and wiring colours but trying to find out what the middle two small wires are for. I'm assuming fuel level sender. Its really odd because the black wire has been spliced in to by the previous owner and I have no idea why. There's an added black wire that goes from there and follows the loom down the left of the the car 🤔 Why would someone want to do this? Unless it is actually for something important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, its been 9 months since we (MT and I) chased up a warranty claim for the turbo, which is what started the whole massive rebuild of the rig. I FINNNNALLLLY got the call today. With many apologies from the warranty agent about taking 9 months to sort this, it has been accepted! Final payout amount for cost of turbo plus labour is $3,048.62. that's a healthy amount. Will be going to see Rob today, sort out a time to get the car in. Still to go on to the car will be: Ultrex 4 cat back, making the system 4inch turbo back. head studs valve springs 525 fuel pump hopefully e85 tune To say I'm excited is beyond an understatement. I am literally shaking, after just getting off the phone with NWC. This has been so fkn stressful and a huge pain in arse for so long and I'm glad that, finally, its over. Done. 400+kw club here I come! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went and got some 6AN 400 series hose. 3/8" equivalent. It seems way too loose on the fuel rail though.... Not entirely happy with how loose it is even with the hose clamps. I'm thinking maybe I should have gotten 5AN? That's 5/16". No way these factory lines are 3/8" surely? 🤣 @JETURBOyou lied to me! 😉 Edit: Look at that @k31th! The quotation worked!

That said….. Raceworks anything is questionable at best so be careful with their fittings !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just measured the I.D. of the hose and looks to be 5/16". Measuring about 7.9mm I'm gonna get some 5AN 400 series today. Wish I hadn't cut the 6AN stuff so I could give it back, but no real loss. $40 loss, with all of this DIY will still land me way cheaper than buying ready-to kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
