hello all...
the subject says it all...I am looking for a picture of a legacy turbo fuel rail. It could either be in the engine, or out. Perhaps someone here could tell me if the injectors on the legacy turbo fit into the fuel rail at an angle...so that the injector caps are angled to the rail, or whether the injectors go in the rail straight...so that the caps are attached at the same angle as the rail...parralel. I hope that made sense.
thanks

If I correctly recall, they do not go in parallel. Each injector on the engine is tilted 45 degrees, with the harness connector aiming out towards the corner.

For example, the harness connector on the front driver side injector points towards the front driver side corner of the car.

I think.

thanks so much morgie, thats exactly what I was looking for. I can't be sure from the picture, are the rails mounted to the engine by bolts above or below the fuel rail? It kinda looks like below, which I know is used on some subees...my EJ20G is above. Other than that, it looks the same as my EJ20G rail, the angle of the injector is the same. Could anyone describe what the pattern of seals/orings are in a legacy turbo injector/rail setup? Maybe a legacy turbo injector seal kit would have a seal that would work for my engine...
thanks

Thanks, Morgie... I suddenly realized earlier tonight that I had gotten it backwards. I was like, "Oh NO! I have to go tell them I got it wrong!" but I couldn't get to a computer at the time.
