Half way through installing ATP GT3076R need a few pointers!!!

[Murrayspeed]

Hey guys so i have my K-04 off and out of the car. On the bottom of the turbo when it is in the car it has a pretty heavy bracket that supports the stock turbo. The bracket bolts right to the engine block. The ATP kit doesn't have a hole to bolt the bracket back in place. So is the weight of the turbo just held by the exhaust mani and DP????? and i noticed that the vacuum lines going to the waste gate actuator are much bigger on the new turbo. if anyone could give me some advice it would be alot of help thanks!!

Try crossposting this on MSF, you might get a faster response. The guys here can surely help you out though. Not me however, as I've never installed one of these... yet. :)

Yes the weight is just held by the mani/dp. Scary huh! That's some heavy gear lol.

The new vac line between inlet housing and wastegate should be nearly double the old tubings inside diameter, no problems just make sure you have a very snug fit on both the wastegate and the inlet fitting.

You have to modify your original turbo bracket in order to support the turbo. Goto the msf and go to the big turbo build and you will see a posting from Lenny who has a detailed write up on how to install the turbo that you got.

What fast_dude said.

If you're running a SteedSpeed manifold, I would just let it hang there. The Steed manifold is incredibly beefy. If you're running stock or tubular, modify the bracket as mentioned.

w.r.t the vacuum lines for the wastegate, compare the inner diameter of the tubing; they're probably the same.
