Hi im still working on the engine:headvswal

 

Can anyone tell me what this hole here (Circled) is needed for ???

Also just wanted to double check does it look like a oil restrictor is already in place?? Im sure the restrictor in my hand has to be fitted but would just like to see what you think?? GT28RS.

Just one other thing ive deleted the water pipes on the plenum that also connect to the throttle bodies. How can i still water cool the turbos aswell as oil cool now the pipework is gone??

 

Thanks Dan

i would imagine the small hole in the turbine housing would be for an exhaust gas sensor, is it threaded?

 

when i fitted my "disco potatos" i fittied them with braided lines that came with them. i dont supose that fitting a restrictor would be a problem. are you going to use the stock lines?

 

as for the water cooling, will this help...

The hole as stated will be for egt sensors.The restrictor MUST be fitted with ball bearing turbos to slow the oil flow or the turbos flood with oil which will past the rear seal and burn on the exducer.

JFI, the restrictor also helps with the lubrication, if too much oil pressure is sent to the ball bearings they float.
