Wagner Inlet Install Questions

[Bram]

so what is the diamter of the standard hose between the turbo and the IC? is it 50? and the Wagner IC inlet is 70mm? and what sort of pipe is suitable to use to make the hose from the turbo fit to the IC connecting hose-bit?

Correct. You need a 50-70mm silicon hose like this one: http://www.wagner-tuning.de/produkte...LLKeingang.php

With this your connect the 2 silicon hoses using an aluminum connection pipe that has on both end a bit of ribbon: http://www.turbozentrum.de/ladelufts...r-75mm/a-1515/

I've just removed both those items from my car used samco extreme hose

[Henkjan]

Thanks.

looks like with the products on this page

I should be able to make a fit-for-purpose version of the hose between the turbo and the IC?
45° reducing elbow, T-piece, 45° elbow, 2 pieces of pipe?
I'll dive under the car and make an isometric of the hose

I see on most installs that the heatshield around the WG is still there. Is this really needed?

[Jamo]

Use an Aan heat shield

let's see if I can locate one somewhere today

why is there 1 more vacuum nipple on Carsten's manifold than on the original?

[Jamo]

Because oem uses a tee on the vacuum extra nipple removes the tee have you not looked at your oem setup.

[Henkjan]

yes, I noticed the tee, and that the extra nipple could be used for that. but was just curious about this difference

Have a new supplied Wagner IM and it does not have the threaded hole for fitting the idle motor? Are you really supposed to use zipties for the oil stick and idle motor?

Feels weird.

I had to make brackets for them as my manifold didn't have them,but some do,maybe ours were forgot!!

3B Power Steering Belt

Finally a belt that works perfectly on the 3B with the Wagner Reverse Inlet Manifold! Hopefully this will put an end to all the screeching and flapping noises from the front end! Thanks to Pete at White Cottage Quattros!

[prosty]

Okay, that's not a big issue
How did you guys proceed and extend the TB wires and the air intake temp wires? Did you just solder them and extend them with a normal wire or did you find any bolt on connects that you just plug in and hid away?

[newsh]

I cut the wiring and extended it, if you stagger the cuts and solder and sleeve the individual joins carefully you can sleeve over the whole thing and it it looks fairly oem.

Hi, belt is 1025mm long x 13mm wide, Found this is the shortest belt that fitted as I tried a 1000 and no chance of getting on PAS pump hits bracket with a shorter belt

I bought the 1013 belt as specified by Wagner, and this justs fits. to get it on you need to remove the PAS pump pully (which was a PITA in my case)

Have a new supplied Wagner IM and it does not have the threaded hole for fitting the idle motor? Are you really supposed to use zipties for the oil stick and idle motor?

did you order the pipe that runs along side the IM for the ISV? on that there is a threaded connection for the dipstick. mine also does not have a connection for the ISV itself, but the hoses keep it in place well enough I guess

How did you guys proceed and extend the TB wires and the air intake temp wires? Did you just solder them and extend them with a normal wire or did you find any bolt on connects that you just plug in and hid away?

I bought some 5 wire (for the throttlepot) and 2 wire (for the temp sensor) (1½mm²) and cut the existing cables and will solder that in. and then finnish it off with some shrinksleeve

with regards to the main radiator: the normal support holding it in place will no longer fit, so I made a small support that will bolt onto the IM:

I made it from brass strip, drilled 2 holes in it, and bended it to the right length. looks a lot better than the ori one as well
