I finally got it. I was just apprehensive about tightening to much on that fitting. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

What you're seeing is the old gasket material. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Im installing the drain tube I got from Kirbans. It's pretty damn tight but still swivels. This thing is going to leak like crazy I think. Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hfRLkuh7kXKW95C41iU45MGLaIk4KPK5/view?usp=drivesdk Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

The stuff I got says #81878 in it. Wonder if it's different

Yes I have that bracket. I'm good. It that the right ultra copper permatex?

Also. There looks like a ground wire not connected. Was wondering if it was like that for a reason and also there what looks like a sensor that it taped up and zip tied.

Thanks again, Few more questions. Do I put ultra copper on both sides of the drain flange gasket and the three bolt gasket? Also, do I need to put anything on the threads of the new drain bolt where it threads into the block? The shaft on the turbo is very tight, no play.

Urg, always something. I just ordered a drain tube, 3 bolt gasket, and down pipe gasket. Another week of being down. I'll change the plugs and wires, pcv and clean up the engine while I'm waiting.

Pulled the turbo. Now I'm wondering if it was really leaking from the drain Flange. There is oil on the block but the drain flange looks pretty clean.

Urg, Ok. Was hoping to avoid that. The bolts look pretty rusty. I guess I got to do what I got to do.

Please forgive my lack of automotive mechanic skills. I am replacing the leaking turbo oil drain gasket. What is the best way to remove the old gasket material from the turbo flange without removing the turbo from the car. Space is very limited and seem to be quite a bit of material left on...

I saw a pillar mount Scanmaster G gauge. I'm thinking about going that route along with a pillar gauge knock light

That's a Knock light with an audible alarm

Thank you Patrick. I need to buy you a beer.

More pics, no hot wire kit? Not even sure what a hotwire kit is.
