oh. i thought the spacers go into the injector hole in the block. Thats what the directions say in the Turbonetics guide... hm. so they go on the top of the injector to fit atop the fuel rail?

That is the pic I looked at. It shows the adapter on the top. The last one.
"Install the injector adapters (Round aluminum part w/ 2 diameters; P/N 21211) onto the top of the new injectors with the larger diameter facing down towards the body of the injector (pointed out in FIGURE 25)"
That is how it is worded.

thanks for the illustration. I found mine... but i only have 5!! you have any extras???
it would be easier to get one from a machine shop close to you. give them one and tell them to replicate it.
id give you one but it would cost more to ship it and then i would have 5!
i can sell you the whole package of injectors and spacers if you want?

you are going to want to wrap that fatter line that runs out of your compressor right next to the skinny line you just wrapped cause your exhaust path runs right there and they cant touch!!
nice progress tho!

I just finished my TN install a couple of days ago. Let me tell you one thing, some parts will not fit as they should but you will have to make it work.
There was a big gap between Part# 21179 (Tube, MAF Sensor to Throttle Body) and Part # 21178 (Tube, Intercooler to MAF Sensor – 3). I had to use cut out a piece from the oem intake tube in order to close this gap.
Also, if you received the 440cc injectors this means you don't have the revup engine. If you do have the revup then you should have received the 600cc injectors.
One more thing, you should probably also buy coolant along with PS fluid and oil/filter. I found it easier to mount the turbo with the radiator fans and even with the radiator off.
Good luck to you and keep us updated!
