This is the one i was talking about. It seemed impossible to reach while on the car. Luckily, you attach this one with it off the car. Now it all makes sense.

This step (number 38) might be expanded to say this is the step in which you use the thicker copper washer. And it touches the turbo itself and the banjo fitting. Not the other side of the banjo fitting further from the turbo.
Thats my PDF study done for today.

what was confusing me as i just looked at it.. the plate with all the red plugs in it. that has 4 connection points. then i have one or 2 other tube type fittings i saw also. i figured i would have 4 ports: coolant in/out and oil in/out. maybe one of the extra ones is a vacuum? Oh ya, that hose looking fitting thing outside of that block must be vacuum, i remember a short hose you disconnect from it now..

I had to take the battery out for the IC install......no idea why I put it in the K04 install....but it certainly gave me ALOT more working room.
Yup. My Autozone sells G12 but I got mine from ECS
