Anyone have some experience installing one of the old QMP turbo kits? I installed the new lines and the bottom of my power steering bracket is hitting the waste gate plumbing. Just wondering if this is a common problem or if something is off on my install. Not really sure what the easiest solution is other than ditching the power steering. Thought I'd check in here first and see what others have done. Would take a lot of clearancing on the plumbing itself...would also take a lot of cutting on the bracket to make it fit. Still not sure if it clears the actual pump housing. Has anyone else run in to this problem? I'll try to remember my camera next time I'm at the shop and take some pictures.

Thanks!

The "KIT" should have come with aftermarket lines, if it did not you should have some made. The ones that were supplied angled down towards the ground and then you routed the return inbetween the exhaust housing and compressor housing to the pump(slip connections at the pump). The feed ran towards the middle of the motorback up to the pressure side on the pump.

It came with new lines. I got those installed and everything looks good there...but the power steering pump will no longer mount to the drivers side head because it's hitting part of the waste gate.

Everything is dead at the house...I'll run down to the shop real quick and snap some pictures so you can see what I'm talking about.

i saw a pic once where Rob had the p/s pump mounted higher or at a funny angle vs stock. It was tilted over towards the passenger side...not siting straight up and down like normal. This was on his personal car

I was told it was one of the prototype kits...wish I could remember the name of the guy I bought it off of. Maybe he'll see this and chime in with how it was run on his car.

Thanks!

do you have access to a welder, if it was me, id do some cutting and rewelding.
about looks like it was rewelded once at the wastegate pipe to log once.

Another option would be to grind the PS bracket if it will give you enough room looks like it in the pictures, but they can be decieving so I am just putting it out there as it seem like a quick and easy fix. Good luck.

I think thats is the case....because the productions kits lowered the entry point of that pipe and it stayed close to the block for clerance on the pulley.

Thanks for the info guys...I'm going to eye ball how much needs to be cut on the ps bracket first. Might be able to get away with that. Otherwise I'll have to look in to moving that pipe like in the picture.

Thanks!
