Check this ******* **** out!!! I found this defect today while changing over coolant fittings to my new LG turbos LOL It looks like whom ever made these turbos for APS stopped short of opening up the coolant passage on my passanger side turbo which equates to hardly if any coolant passing threw these turbos (AT ALL!!!) because of them being ran in series. No wonder these oil return rubber hoses were getting so hot and buldging the way they did. I must have figuired when installing these APS turtbos that it was a type of metering orfice that they designed into there turbos? I was wronge now that i see that the LG's are opened up (ALL THE WAY) LOL

I got the kit for $4500 and put another $2800 onto these bad *** LG turbos So,the way i gotta look at it is i now payed the full price for a now bad *** TT setup LOL The kit is nice besides the turbos LOL Which is like saying a supercharger kit is nice besides the supercharger LOL Yea,I wish i could go back in time on this one ,,,and just keep my INCON TT that i sold to get this kit.

Mine are still alive at about 3000 miles and 8psi. Still plan on LG upgrade over the winter though.
Yeah pretty sure mine were also like Barnats picture. I am not even running water cooling on mine since the one was internally cracked and not sure which one. It let coolant into my oil. Caught it within first minute of start up fortunately.
You can run the mits 20g oil cooling only. Water cooling is nice and has some advantages but oil is the essential cooling.

I will be changing out all my oil returns to stainless with an fittings. Running my currently in the box scavenger pump at some point if think need it.

This is what im doing LOL Theres no way to get a steel braided line to bend like that bullshit APS rubber oil return line and get a drop or decline to the oil pan. I was under my ride for 4 hours looking at it 2 weeks ago and a hard line maybe? ,but your still not going to have hardly if any drop at all from the turbos to the oil pan! I finally gave up trying to make the APS gravity idea work with this kit and am installing one of my Johnson's HTP scavanging pumps with my new LG turbos and can finally say its done and start enjoying my ride instead of working on it LOL

I agree with ya Al ,,,,if they were OEM MIT turbos LOL which there not ! and check out the pics i posted showing that tiny *** oiling hole inside the turbo oil passage that i posted today and showing how the shaft was over heated and blued in color do to oil starvation LOL You wont see that tiny *** oiling hole on these LG turbos! Ide bet anything,,, if you were to pull one of your inlet hoses and feel the compressor wheel for play, i think youll be shocked at the amount of play you allready have in your turbo!You shouldnt be able to really feel anyside to side play
