E99 turbo on OBS

dzldoctor · May 23, 2013

Quick question for you guys, whats it take to mount the E99 turbo on the OBS? The flange from the collector on the stock turbo is stripped/broken. I have an E99 turbo with pedistal and such? What else needs to be change or used to make that turbo work? thanks.

The problem I have is the collector that bolts the turbo to the up pipe collector is damaged. So this wont help.

You will need your e99 pedistal and collector, im not sure how the downpipe will fit up right, but it might. Your up pipes should be the right length/ same length as an e99

Layed it all in place, the up pipes seem short?? Seems to place the collector a squeak higher??

I dont believe it was any higher, although I havnt confirmed that. could be a difference in the collector.
Pull the OBS Pedestal and put on a flat bench with the E99 pedastal, see if the mounting surfaces are the same; if they are place the turbos on it and see if the geometry to the collectors is a bit different.

I may be wrong, but I thought some E99 stuff had the longer up pipes on one side the the regular SD's did, that could explain why yours seem short.
