  Just put the intake on first and torque it down, then the turbo on second.
  
  Just a thought.

• Does someone on the forums have a picture of the front of their TD engine after all the coolant hoses are on. I cant exactly remember how they go and my pictures arnt that great from that angle.

• Thanks for all the replies guys!  But i figured it out
  
  Only need hose clamps Alt. Belt and i need to make my down pipe Then she'll be ready to start putting in the car.
  
  The down pipe will probably take forever!

• I've heard of someone using a down pipe from a Mercedes W123 turbodiesel (plenty full in junkyards) that is stainless and has a flex section built in and welded it up to the toilet bowl. It is at least 2.25" o.d. and may be 2.5" o.d. I have one and will measure it and report back and shoot a pic of it.

• Does anyone know which wire is hot coming from the key cylinder? I need it to be hot when i turn the key to ON position.  I need them for my gauges.
  I thought i might check here before checking later tonight.
  Thanks

  I think it was just the way i took the picture but the DP is far from the linkage.
  
  Does anyone know of how to get the CV axle into place with out removing the ball joint and tie rod end? Just asking. Im going to do that tomorrow, They were in the way when i was placing the engine so i let them both fall

• Here's pic of the Mercedes downpipe. It is 60 mm o.d with a flex section. I think for someone who can fab and weld, it could be adapted to go direct to the turbo flange and elimiate the toilet bowl altogether.
