Hey, so I just got my freshly rebuilt turbo back last week and I was organising all the bits and pieces to get re-installed but I have just realised that the 2 bottom bolts on the manifold flange are missing. Also the top nuts are different, Abit strange in my opinion but has anyone else come across missing parts. I assume the bottom 2 bolts go through bracket that comes off the engine mount. Also changing the turbo oil supply line and want to change the filter, should I just go to Ford for the parts or go aftermarket?

I was quoted about $90 for the oil line filter from Ford.

There is someone on eBay that sells genuine ones for about $45. Might be worth sending them a message to see if they have anymore in stock.

Just get a complete new set of studs and nuts from ford. And take the turbo filter out and throw it away. Dont put a new one in.

thanks guys, ive taken off the switch and the old oil line is the filter in the side of the block as there still is a fitting coming out with a male thread.

when your sticking the studs in make sure you torque them up nice and tight before sticking the turbo and nuts on...

sorry just seen the ebay product but if u take that out and throw it away what goes in its place or does the earls oil line screw straight into the block?

Buddy, make sure you read through that thread completely and not just glance over it........

just a whole lot of arguing about whether screwed type is better then crimped

You dont have to have any filter it is up to you. You can take it out and put standard line on, or take it out and put earls kit or equivalent on.
