I've finally sorted through my pics and videos and posted them up... Just like your mom with you, it took me 9 months to birth this thread:Jayhovah's Gamma V3 TT Install Pic/Video Dump

Remember this moment?

At the time, I actually forced Johnny to reenact it for video.

He is not a skilled actor.

Just wanted to report some excellent customer service from Gamma.

I have never been able to get the oil feed distribution block area completely leak free and have been considering piecing together something custom from summit, or getting the CJM oil feed distribution block (much cleaner design IMO).

I emailed Gamma support to ask for the fitting sizes - Amin recognized me and answered me personally. He immediately offered to send me a replacement distribution block and fittings. Got them in the other day... and he basically sent me every oil related fitting on the kit including turbo drain nipples, etc. They were missing a couple of the feed fittings, but I emailed back and they are already on the way to me.

Thanks Gamma!

Made up a washer bottle to replace the OEM reservoir which was deleted to make room for the passenger side air filter.

I don't have any experience with the AAM kit, but they both seem to be great kits. I am very happy with my Gamma kit.

The AAM kit has those fancy Borg Warner turbos.

The Gamma kit is nice in that you can install it without pulling the motor.

Yea I am just wondering if the extra $1.5-2K price tag on the AAM is really worth it.

Yes. If only just for the non-cast turbo manifolds.

I think their manifolds are still cast - but cast stainless (still pretty blingy!).

about 98%...but something in that spot is still sweating a little bit. I'm still formulating how I can isolate where its coming from since all the fittings are so close together. At this point its slight enough that I could just plan to clean it up every oil change but I am too anal for that.

Try zip tie-ing an old tee-shirt on it. I would thing you could find the wet spot.

jwick · 05-18-2017, 10:36 AM

It's almost always the fitting. Make sure there isn't any tension on the fitting at all. I had to rebuild mine from scratch to get it to stop leaking.

Which fitting do you mean in particular? The way mine is structured:

BSP-NPT coupler ->
Distribution block ->
Pressure Sensor
AN3 to turbo
AN3 to turbo
plug

Hope that makes sense... I actually think its leaking at the pressure sensor but will need to set up a test to figure that out.
