Im gonna keep all my questions in here, instead of creating new posts all the time. First question, I took my coolant temp sensor out and went to install it into the Saab coolant housing, but its too small. Can I just use a Saab one from Napa?? This is the only question at the moment as im going really slow with it right now. Thanks alot!!!!
I make aluminu saab water tees that allow for this. Please om me if interested, this is how I did mine.
What's the difference in the Saab housing compaired to the cav one?
There is a thread difference in these..... The gm one for the cav is bigger. He must be changing the water outlets...?

Sorry I should have been more descriptive. Yes I mean the wateroutlet/thermostat housing. My stock 02 eco coolant temp sensor will not fit the Saab housing since its just too small for the hole. The saab setup I have looks like its going to work I just need the sensor. Thats why i asked if I can just get a saab sensor and see what happens. Also, what did you guys do as far as a oil return and pickup?? Maybe help me out with some pics?? This is my first turbo install and my first time doing anything like this, and I wanna make sure I do this right. I am curious to see what you coolant outlet/tree looks like Jason. Also, on my saab outlet it goes to a straight outlet and looks like a hose is suppose to connect there. On my stock stuff my water outlet from my radiator goes to a long pipe then behind the block into the thermostat housing/heater core lines. What did you guys do to get around this? Cut the pipe off the stock housing and then just find a 90* hose, or what?? Thanks again guys!!!!
I used the same supply for the oil as the saab did and I drilled a return just like the saab had, engine was out, email me at gmto2nr@yahoo.com for pictures of the tee's the supply is in the upper rad hose and the return is in the heater core hose, just like the saab , but aluminum instead of the saab plastic design that fails.
Ahh okay, Ill see if I can figure it out.
Also, I am wondering, is there any one out there that makes the three bolt exhaust manifold flanges. Just the flanges. Were gonna make a external wastegate. But I need to get two flanges to make a spacer. If you guys have any ideas it would be great. thanks!!!
Yep, I make a 3 bolt flange also sir.
Really! Do me a favor, send me a email, with what material you make it with and how much it would cost me for two of them. Mikezayed02@gmail.com thanks bud!!!
Ya pm me and I can do that , don't really use my email much. PM me tomorrow and I will look it up when at home,
Thanks
50 for 2 shipped. 3/8ths steel. Unless you need thicker. That is what I used.
