HAY ALL OK JUST WANT 2 LET YOU ALL KNOW I AM GOING 2 BE DROPING AN RS TURBO LUMP INTO AN XR3I,THE ENGINE ISNT IN CAR YET SO I AM GOING 2 PAINT THE BLOCK JUST WANTED TO KNOW WOULD IT BE OK TO REMOVE THE TURBO OIL FEED PIPE THATS AT THE BACK OF THE BLOCK,AND ALSO DOES THE TURBO MANIFOLD NEED 2 BE TORQUED DOWN/THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP

 

You've lost me there? You want to remove the turbo oil feed pipe

Everything wants torquing down ideally, look in a haynes manual to get the correct torque figure

 

You can remove the turbo oil feed pipe however, you may aswell keep your 3i engine in there as the turbo wont last very long if you do
