I talked to Josh. I don't think he's the one that installed it. But if he is. No offense I am just venting.

Take the turbo to a machine shop and have them try it out. Worst case they put it in a drill press and go up one size.

For the record I did NOT install the turbo. The shop that did install it was Valley Auto. And they royaled screwed Grant. I installed the down pipe, O2s and the FMIC. No offense taken by me.

I got the bolt out. Had to drill it and retap it. It's a little cold to finish it today. So hopefully I will finish it tomorrow.

So the new manifold moved the turbo over about 1 1/2" so the oil feed line doesn't reach. Do any of you think that cutting the copper line and splicing it with some braid line would work or is there too much pressure in the line for that. Any suggestions would help. Thanks

Too much pressure. Take line off and a hydraulic shop should be able to make a longer one for under $100.
