Now that I have the Masi 16v in my Lancer, I'm running into a few issues.
1. Where do I attach the brake booster hose? I can't seem to find a dedicated 3/8" nipple on the intake manifold for it.
2. Is there any way of making my existing 3" TU downpipe work, or will I just have to give up and install the stock 16v TC downpipe? It's close, but the donut on the Masi 16v IHI turbo is about 2-3" farther toward the passenger side and the angle is a little bit different.. Also, can I use the same spring/bolt downpipe hardware that all of the other turbo 2.2/2.5 use?
3. It looks like I can just use the same throttle body as TII or TIII and it will bolt right up to the intake manifold.....BUT....the TB is facing the bell housing and there are a lot of funky brackets that go along with the 16v throttle body setup. I'm kind of at a loss as to how to make this work but honestly I haven't tried too hard yet. It would be nice to bolt up a TB and attach the TII throttle cable and go, but something tells me it won't be that easy.
4. Should I go ahead and plan on installing a low-profile radiator fan? I haven't gotten that far yet but I imagine it would make oil changes easier. I could probably make stock stuff fit, but that original radiator fan motor isn't going to slide in and out any more.
I'm sure I'll have more questions the farther I get.
