Today I got some PTFE hose and -4AN fittings and made the flex line for the turbo oil feed.
I gave it a nice, soft S-shape to keep it tucked away.
Vic made a little bracket to hold the boost solenoids just under the intake lid snout. The mounting points for the bracket have slots, so the bolts just need to be loosened up to put it on or remove it.
One of the big reasons for choosing this location and orientation is so that the two nipples face the general direction of the wastegate and turbo. One of the lines needs to go to the top of the wastage dome and the other needs to go to the turbo compressor discharge.
Here is the view from the other side. I am going to have my friend Blake design and print a cover for the solenoids.
Since the wastegate is not super accessible and is surrounded by hot parts, I decided to plumb everything going to it using NiCopp 3/16" tubing. That way I don't have to worry about melting through the typical nylon hose and push-lock fittings.
This is the line from the compressor discharge to the bottom of the dome.
This TurboSmart wastegate has provisions for water cooling, so once the heater hose fittings are finalized, I will tap them and feet coolant to the dome of the wastegate.
