Hey everyone, I just got my brother turbo back from turbonetics which came back with water fittings on the bearing housing. I want to make use of it but have not a clue what fittings or lines to buy. I do knwo where I'm tapping for a water supply, just need fitting sizes and threads!

Thanks so much!

OK well I guess I dont need this info anymore. When I talked to turbonetics about a week ago about the turbo and how the rebuild is coming along, I flat out asked if it would have the new version with a water-cooled bearing. Steve at turbonetics said "yes, it will have a water cooled bearing".....which after opening the box, DOESNT! So we waited 4 weeks for a normal tC turbo.

Kinda disappointed here

I'm fairly certain the Banjo bolts are 16 AN and the water lines are -10. But just in case I'll confirm the sizes tomorrow. You can order them from Turbonetics I believe. Its the same as for the Z kit.

I just talked to Steve and he is a little surprised about this. He asked for you to email him with your WA number for that turbo and a brief summary. (i.e. should have been water cooled, wasn't). He is going to see what he can do for you ASAP. I'll PM you his email addy.

Thanks so much for the help rob!!! I talked to Steve on the phone and got it all worked out.

Thanks again! I'll post pics of the water setup once its installed.
