as a fair number of us are about to install 2860 turbos, I thought I'd start a thread looking at the little things we should be prepared for.
I was talking with my engine builder, who wanted to know the exact plumbing of these turbos. Am I right in assuming that they will have the same oil and water feed and return lines? Are the stock lines completely usable (with some "persuasion") or is there a better option, like braided lines?
Will these GT2860s fit perfectly on an HKS manifold designed for twin GT25 turbos?
Mine are going on an engine-out build, which simplifies a lot of things. For those of us who are doing the swap in-situ, I can take a lot of pictures of the plumbing from whatever angle, if you get confused with some lines, especially those dastardly ones that run behind or beneath...
