Mounting the K04 turbos
by Matt on February 27, 2010
Today I bolted up the new K04 turbos. It was kind of a pain in the ass to get the oil and coolant lines on but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I noticed that I was still missing 2 crush washers for the coolant lines (ugh) so I improvised and used some extra oil drain plug washers. I’m crossing my fingers that I won’t have any leaks. I also had to rotate the driver’s side turbo a few degrees to get the CHRA to line up with the lines.
Finally, I mounted the DPs and heat shields and went home.
