I need to find an oil line for my td04l to hook it up to my ej22e. I cant seem to find one long enough that works with the td04l. do all the td04 turbos have the same thread pitch? from different lines that I have been looking at it seems that they are different. I plan on using a bango bolt on it. if someone has a link to one that will work lmk thanks

also I need a boost gauge, I will be going with the prosport boost gauge but I dont know if I should go with a electronic or mechanical gauge? seeing as Im just adding the turbo to my engine I wont be adding any extra sensors or anything for the turbo so im thinking I can only use a mechanical gauge. does this sound right?

last question where would I tap into for my boost gauge? like anywhere on the intake manifold? or on the intake itself?

thanks

I just T'd into one of the vacuum lines off the top of my manifold. The one that goes to my BPV.

This is probably what you're looking for $20: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XAVIAR-T ... 0543286901

With the boost gauge I'd probably just get a mechanical one. I think they're cheaper and I prefer the look of mechanical style gauges.

The big line or the little line in the bpv? Sorry I'm a turbo newb lol

I did see that oil line, not quite sure if it will be long enough though, how close is the turbo to block?

It's pretty close. I'm guessing it will work. It says any EJ20 or EJ25 engine. And it specifically lists the TD04.

You can get vacuum off any line coming from the manifold. Just T it in between whatever you're Teeing into and the manifold, not after.
