In my wisdom, i decided that I should spend this evening taking my turbo out to do a few things: - Check it was not covered in oil as I have been losing a bit, and noticed a bit of smoke from exhaust in some pictures - Put some decent gaskets in (rather than the copper and self cut ones that i got with the turbo kit) as they were looking a bit sorry for themselves - Take a look at the bolts holding it all in - Check the oil drain (as there was oil on it) - and think about taking out the power steering - but that is another thing altogether... In doing this, I have a few questions for the hive mind. 1. There is residue from the gaskets on the turbo flanges and the manifold and down pipe flanges. How clean do they have to be? Will a clean and a run with a file do it? Or do i need something a bit more serious? - This is mostly powder now and will scrape off ok i think: - ditto for down pipe, but the manifold was a copper gasket. I have got most of it off, but there is still a bit left. 2. When I took the oil drain pipe off the sump fitting, the whole bloody thing spun in the sump. So I need to remove it, and I am thinking that a push on hose is going to be a lot easier to deal with. This ribbed thing was a bastard to get on and I think that is the cause of the leak on the turbo end. So, who would be a good supplier of: - a sump fitting (1/2" BSP to barbed)? - a td04 oil drain fitting to barbed? - What sort of pipe is best to use for oil drain? Thanks

When I ran that ribbed oil drain it was a right pita to put on and take off, and after a while leaked on mine :/ definitely go for a push on hose, I got one from my local turbo and hose place along with the fittings needed
