google brass T + cracking and see what you find.
those ****ty brass T's have been used for years, and sometimes they last, but lots of them crack over time.
i'd rather spend the extra 15$ now, and know it will last than save 15$ and have my car burn to the ground.

I meant no insult. I was just giving my 2 cents. I agreed with you in the second sentance of my post

I have been a machinist in oilfield repair for going on 7 years now, and gunsmithing just as long also. I feel I have a fairly good understaning of metalurgy. I was not trying to say you are absalutly wrong by any means. I was also just talking about the oil line fittings, not the T itself. I made my T out of the equivilant of a grade 8 bolt.

yeah thats the one i printed. its a little confusing when drunk and having 2, yes 2, tach adaptors. here is a pic of my problem so you can see where i got confused.....

killermillermr2 · 08-03-2009, 02:31 PM

You only need the 8910 eis tach addaptor. Did you already get everything installed?

tstoney82 · 08-03-2009, 03:13 PM

im gonna take the one that is already connected to the btm off and connect the new one just in the case that the one that is currently connected is bad.

ive mounted everything and i am gonna start the process after dinner tonight. i do have a quick question.......ive located the coil wire (easy) but i do not know which side is positive and which side is negative. (this could have also been my problem the first time around.) got any suggestions?

Redstar · 08-03-2009, 05:29 PM

I'm bored, I looked it up for you.

- is the one closest to the drivers side. Black wire with a white stripe.

Ref #1 -BGB page IG-12
Ref #2 -wiring diagram manual, page 1 of the actual diagrams in the back

tstoney82 · 08-07-2009, 03:58 PM

ok so after some long days of waiting and finally being able to get back to my two, i got to work. i installed the btm and tach adaptor finally. the wiring for it was a pain in the ass to reach, but it works. i got the oil feed ran and got the oil pan tapped for the return. i didnt have a tap and dye set small enough for the water goose necks so i went to sears and bought a set. today i am gonna tap the goose necks and run the cooling lines to the turbo. all thats left after that is putting the oil pan back on, hooking up the return line for the oil and praying that she runs.

MR2enV · 08-08-2009, 12:35 PM

diconnect the coil and crank it for a bit so oil will run up into the turbo and water can circulate around....

shimric · 08-08-2009, 01:58 PM

Or you could just make it easier and pull the efi fuse.

SW21T · 08-08-2009, 07:24 PM

Where did you ground the btm??

tstoney82 · 08-08-2009, 11:22 PM

i grounded my btm on the firewall with another ground.

SW21T · 08-09-2009, 04:31 AM

Oh ok I was asking because that was the reason my car didn't want to start, I had it grounded to the ear piece by the lid (where the scoop would go) and didn't want you making the same mistake.

tstoney82 · 08-17-2009, 07:14 PM

tell me if im wrong, but the vacuum line on the btm can be plugged into the intake manifold.......

SW21T · 08-17-2009, 07:20 PM

Yes that is correct.

killermillermr2 · 08-17-2009, 07:41 PM

The three unused ports on my intake manifold supply the BTM, boost gauge, and BOV(BPV)

Same here

killermillermr2 · 08-19-2009, 08:45 PM

Whats up! Did you get your BTM fully installed and the goosenecks tapped?

tstoney82 · 08-19-2009, 09:22 PM

i got the btm fully installed and the goosenecks are being tapped this weekend. i tried to tap them about a week ago, but my drill decided to take a **** on me so im waiting until this weekend so i can go buy another one. once thats all said and done, i can start it up and see how she runs.

killermillermr2 · 08-19-2009, 09:53 PM

be careful when you drill and tap those bolts. Mine were definatly hard. Use some good cutting fluid for drilling and tapping. I prefer mistic metal mover.

tstoney82 · 08-21-2009, 09:38 PM

ok so goosenecks are done!!!! lines are connected etc. i started her up and the turbo doesnt build pressure........after looking over all of my work for hours i found the problem.........the wategate plunger was disconnected from the end that opens and closes by the downpipe. hopefully i will be able to connect it back and it will build some pressure up.

killermillermr2 · 08-21-2009, 09:42 PM

lol Yeah, hook that up and you should build boost

there is an E clip that holds that actuator bar onto the wastegate flapper.
