well, if anyone is still interested. there's a pink wire that goes to the nolex type or white plug that sits between the fuse box and the washer bottle, that's the switched supply from the hicas module. then the grey connector above it has a straight black one that's the earth in the original loom.

i do belive i have the same problem here too, have there been any developments with this issue?

I know this is an old thread, but figured this is the best place to ask the question. Which loom dose the wires to the steering rack pressure solonoid attach to? Or perhaps tell me the colours of the wires on the loom that it attaches to? After investigation I found on my car it's not attached to anything.

ok, thanks a lot guys. just moved from nsw and unfamiliar with local rules, bought one with the hole cut without even thinking about it and kicking myself for doing so.

hey guys, not sure if anyone has mentioned the hole people make below the washer bottle for the fmic pipe yet. any views on that one?

Where are the parts man?

so, where in sydney are you?

awesome. to me it initially looked as if there wasn't a constructive argument going on. but it's good to see the wealth of knowledge of the users of this forum has come out. makes sense that you get what you pay for. thanks for the information.

makes sense, one other thing I've seen is the castings of the housings are quite thick, i'm thinking to avoid failures due to core shift, that causes flow problems, you can fix a lot of it, but there's only so many places you can reach with a die grinder. luckily you can open up the waste gate easily. what else needs to be done to get these going well?

so, why are these cheap turbos failing? poor manufacture, poor quality materials, user/installer neglect? do the expensive turbos really out perform the cheap ones? just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's crap and so far the argument to buy the expensive turbo seems to be losing to me... by about $500.00

cool, thanks man.
