    bike didn't come with one so i'm looking for part numbers or where i can purchase one.

    two brass washers, and one oil feed bolt.


    Edit:
    Why didn't anyone tell me these were called banjo bolts. In all my years, i've NEVER heard them called that.

    Re: Turbo Oil Feed bolt

    looks like
    351246-001 - bolts - 6.22
    351370-001 - gasket (washer) - 1.43

    mitsubishi turbo, should beable to contact mitsubishi for parts too.

    I know the brass washers from a turbo'd mitsu will work, though it would seem i lost some of the turbo oil bolts..

    I'm pretty sure i can find some at a hydralics place.. I'm really trying to find out where i can purchase one with cash.

    Forgive me for being a bit thick. You say this bike has no oil feed turbo bolt, no oil feed line, yet you say that running it with zero oil pressure hasn't damaged it in the least. I'm not there to see your bike, yet I cannot grasp how this can be so, when the turbo has a plain shaft turning in a plain bearing at 185,000 rpm at full load. Am I missing something here?

    Does the serial number on your engine start with 16H by any chance?

    You did miss something, and I forgive you.

    Also, I apologize for not including all details of story.

    All i was told was "it needs oil feed tube" and that requires the bolt and such.

    I had further went through the box of parts, and found the tube and line, as far as the bolt, just like i've found the other bolts for my bike, off a mitsubishi 3000gt. Granted it's not the 'proper' one, and I would like a 'new' bolt as well as the brass washers. Since they are more 'compression' washers, it's not recommended to use them twice as they tend to leak, like mine are.

    a short vid showing turbo spin and shaft play.. which hasn't changed since picked it up, so I can't be held accountable for previous owners neglect for said turbo. I fear it HAS been run without proper oil, there was MUCH oil in the intake of the turbo when I first got it, so who knows if they poored it in thinking that'd work.

    One reason I said no need to worry, is I plan on changing out this turbo with a slighty bigger one. Yes it may be foolish, yes I may have to do other stuff, i'm familure with forced induction..

    Thank you for your concerns though.

    Re: Turbo Oil Feed bolt

    Yeah, that turbo is really slack radially. I have seen another turbo owner out a TC04 impeller on this and make boost come on about 1000rpm lower, but it was a bit of a machining and welding project.

    You will always have oil in this turbo. The check valve in the front oil gallery almost never seals properly, allowing oil to gravity feed into the turbo, which passes oil past the slack shaft seals when parked. If I still had mine, I would put in a 1/4" poppet style teflon puck check valve directly in the oil feed line to stop this. The original ball and seat style check wears out after awhile.
