im not completely sure but i think you have to use the oil banjo bolt specific to that turbo or series of turbos.

fair enough mate i can understand that, but im just trying to give you an answer from experience :) kon and his mates have run them before and im running one now. a lot of people posted on my thread "oh you need to restrict the flow" but kon assured me i didnt need to. i just used a braided oil line for a heating boiler and its fine. :freddy:

Use the one that came with it billybob.

He is taking advice from someone with experience of this turbo who blew the seals on it using a TD04 oil bolt on the turbo.

Ask Glanzanut what way his boiler line connects up, or buy a bolt of Subaru.

You will need the chassis number of the model of car it came off probably.

Hi john,

I have a banjo bolt that fits in the td and vf series but i just ordered a banjo bolt with the same thread so it fits but that would mean the holes in the bolt would be different!

Looks like would have to ring Subaru up but does it really matter on what banjo bolt is used as long as it fits?

Too big a hole lets too much oil through pushng it past the seals? Too smll a hole starves the turbo? Is that it?

subaru put an oil bolt with a tiny hole on the ball bearing turbos for a reason.
for the sake of 5 quid why even bother using the wrong one?

i dont understand? why would any one question the bolt thats on the turbo. thats what it was made for and thats what it came with why question the need to change it just use the one it comes with :)

sometimes these turbos are bought without the oil bolt that came with it so when you already have a td04 on the car it might be tempting to use the old bolt.

billybob that is the correct oil bolt.
