I need some help with the airdog upgrade, I assume I need to pull the banjo fitting/stud out of the hpfp and screw in a new fitting that will 90 into the braided line right?

I dont want to jack up the hpfp tring to unscrew something that dont come out, but that is the only way I can see this working. Any insight will be great, thanks.

Yes it goes right to the hpfp. I believe its the front pass side fitting.

blk350on20s · Apr 25, 2012

Yep. Front pass fitting getts removed and the new one goes in and the hose attatches to that. Havent done elites but decently familiar with it. Im sure someone will chime in with first hand experience

thanks man, I think I got it mostly figured out but want to make sure. There are several fittings in the bag I want to get them all in the right place!

Alright guys, got the II turbo on but have some questions

Should the turbos be bolted together or is that just for aligning the turbos? My stockers were not bolted together so I assume not. But it looks like they should be.

Any special process for oiling the turbo or just fill them with oil before hooking up the lines?

don't put those bolts in, they are just for installing them. As far as oiling them goes, I pour some oil down the supply ports and then disconnect the hpfp by the glow plug module and crank the engine this way the oil pump pushes oil to them but they don't spin. I do that till I know I have oil there then I reconnect the hpfp and fire the engine. Hope this helps.

I haven't had time to put many pics on but here are a few of my wg and II 71 mm turbo. I hope to set the cab back on tomorrow or tuesday!

Lookin good man. Need anymore help feel free to ask.

The exit on the wastegate looks a bit high. I had to trim that heat sheild and rotate in down a little farther to clear the cab. Might want to check that.

Are you running coolant to your gate or just leaving the ports opened?

Think im just gonna leave the ports open, Shane said his has been on like a year without water and its fine.

Heavyhaul, thanks I will check

blk350on20s · Apr 30, 2012

Ok. I was debating on doing that with mine as well. Builds comin along nicely

Heavyhaul · Apr 30, 2012

My wastegate is that way as well. No problems yet 10,000 miles.

78f100 · Apr 30, 2012

I just decided to plumb the lines into the wg and cap them for now that way if needed all I have to do is hook them up.

How bad is it to get to the wg when the cab is back on? Looks like only access will be from under the truck.

What springs did you put in your wg?

blk350on20s · Apr 30, 2012

Its actually pretty easy. Make sure your clamps are faced the right way if you plan to work cab on. I had to custum up a allen wrench to get mine because it was in a messed up spot

78f100 · Apr 30, 2012

I have lots of (custom) allen wrenches and tools...lol. Im always working on junk and making tools. I am a professional afro engineer.

I have 1.2 bar which is perfect on the dyno graph. I have the tow x turbos in mine which dumps between stages. I know rudys starts at 1.0 bar. I have done a lot of spring changes. Not fun!
