hey hey

i am going to put some braided lines for the oil and water lines

i am just wondering what is the best way to do it as some of yous might know that the turbos on the 26 the turbo lines are in two sections.

not sure how to explain but the turbos have their own set of pipes then its banjo fittings then to the engine. im guessing they made it like that so they are easier to get to

i am just wondering should i go straight braided lines to the bearing cartridge or should i just go to the banjo section??

i was thinking of doing this myself like going to couplers in malaga get all the fittings etc etc but i saw this on ebay

this kit is still using banjo fittings i was thinking of just using 90 and 45 degree fittings

so what are your opions??

one of my water lines are all corroded

I have the same issue with the rear turbo. Both the small pipe that goes around the cartridge and the longer one that goes to the engine underneath. Since I have to replace the longer one 'and' the one that goes around the cartridge, I was also thinking about putting the braided lines directly onto the cartridge.

Sorry to bump but it would just be me asking in a new thread.

Would it work? Anyone done it?

    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
