Hey Chris, you still waiting on a header?according to ur last post on UAC,,, I can't log into the UAC site anymore
I get mine from CarCraft ,Madmike

His first post in this thread shows his header. Looks nice.

As a side note, (re: original post) the oil in your lines/cooler doesn't count towards oil reserve: It isn't available to suck into the pump. It will help slow down how fast it heats up.

yeah i understand that now, didnt realize that you could actually suck the sump dry

no the last thing im waiting on is my exhaust, i ordered it with an o2 bung in it and he forgot to do it so now he made me a new one and its supposedly at the ceramic coaters

I even commented on how nice it looks,,
I had fun getting my header ,, but CarCraft took care of me ,1st class in my book
Yea chris , stock sump can empty real fast , leaving the oil pickup with nothing to suck up :wink
I welded a bung on the down pipe/ outlet of the turbo.

Ok, I got a Snow mater meth kit for christmas. Everything is pretty strait forward the only question i have is where to mount the nozzle. I know it is supposed to be after the turbo so my only option is the outlet of the turbo or in the intake y pipe but that is super thin so i would think i would need to put a bung in?

I use a grease gun hose coupler and cut it in half to make two bungs.
I always weld a bung to my intake pipes due to how thin they are. I just take a grinder and grind a slight oval on the side that goes to the tubing.

I have two nozzles.....one just above the TB and one just below the TB. Both are activated by their own separate Hobbs switch set at different pressures.
Here is the lower one...

ok so im getting my water meth installed but i want to use my current boost reference for the sprayer

can i drill and tap where the black arrow is for a boost reference and the red arrow for my meth sprayer?

I would not put a new reference in that area but that's just me.

Why not put a bung on the intake piping somewhere before the TB....

If you have a high pressure pump you should be fine with atomization anywhere in the intake.

honestly because my intake is all ceramic coated and i dont want to have to grind it away to weld in a bung

almost all of precision turbos are boost referenced there

Go for it then.....

do you have a valid reason for not wanting to tap there or is it just your preference. My ko4 on my mazda has its boost reference drilled there too

I feel a general avoidance of drilling holes in expensive precision machined parts is a healthy way of thinking.
You can touch up ceramic coatings if the part fits in your oven...

well the turbo is cheap haha, I already drilled and tapped the 1st boost reference hole
