Stainless steel braided is the best line you can get for oil, obviously thats why its used to feed the oil, nd im using aluminum piping.



Turbo sticker? Wtf are You talking about?



honestly if your not going to help don't post your negative stuff.

Dont turn this into a hater forum like typical honda ones.

This is obviously my first turboed hyundai I thought ppl here would freaking help.

And to those who have helped, I thank you.

I've ran nylon on a mechanical gauge ack in the day, copper two. I have nylon on my boost gauge now. All are susceptible to damage if kinked. I don't know how many little brass compression collets I've used just on my boost gauge due to cutting off the end because of a kink.



But if done right the nylon is alright to use.

well that could mean you are getting false readings. You usually have to put it in calibrate mode, with the Innovate you can install a button or ground a wire to get it in calibrate mode and you keep the O2 sensor out of the exhaust in open atmosphere for it to get the atmospheric reading then once it gets that it will indicate when it's finished calibrate mode and you can then install the sensor in the exhaust. Not sure what wideband you have but get the instructions for it and it will tell you how to calibrate it. They usually say to do this every so often just to keep it reading properly.

No problem, sometimes us people with more knowledge can over look basics and what comes to us as natural now so seeing as it's your first turbo project I figure I'd thow out basics that cross my mind for your situation to make sure you've went over them all. This is why I think it's good to do a build thread as people go along so issues they come accross they can be helped along the way and it's all kept in one thread for your ease of reference.
