ok, so I'm installing the oil relocation line and its one of the last two things that needs done.
problem is I can NOT get the plug out of the housing. how tough is it to pull that whole housing and replace it if need be? I'm talking if I do hypethetically strip the allen head. I've tried heat, PB blaster, and wd40 will not budge an inch. |

I see what you are talking about now. Pm was a little unclear. If it really doesn't want to come you can always supply oil for your turbo from the stock location on the head. Mine was in there pretty tight. I think I had to use a long breaker bar to get it loose, but it came. Just make sure you use the correct size allen head.

lol. lack of sleep and anger will cause incoherence.
the 8mm allen head fits in there tight. I'm assuming thats the size. But, I need to go to the store and buy a shorter socket. mine is like 3" of allen. I can't get a wrench on the end I had to use vice grips. If I went back to stock location I'd be kinda SOL. I shipped the line off with the turbo to rob's house. |
