hey guys ive just fitted a new standard turbo to my R. problem is theres 4 bolts that oil flows threw. example: 2 from the block to the turbo & 1 of them conncts to back orf turbo. & 1 is water feed. now all the bolts look the same 19mm bolts. BUT 1 of them isnt opend out for flow. 1 has a small jet in 1. looks like a jet size hole you would have in a carbureta. dous any1 know where this bolt go's?? :? :roll:
?? which bolt??

There's 2 banjos on the block and they're both different sizes from what I remember.
I can't think of any jet like thing unless you have got the turbo's oil restrictor in your hand, but that (if fitted) should be in the turbo.

PS Are you talking about the holes in the turbo core?

im talking about the 19mm bolts that have copper washers on that come off the block to the turbo. there is 4 all together 2 go in the block. & the other 2 go in to the turbo. they all have copper washers on to stop leaks. but tho hole that go's threw the bolt that acts as a jet is very small. like you say could be a restricter bolt?? but which hole dous it go in to?? CONFUSED.COM lol
If you look at the link I posted and check the pages near it relevant to the turbo and read what me and mark put you should be able to work it out.
I'm sure the two banjos on the block are different sizes and if the other 2 on the turbo are the same then you have 3 the same and one smaller. the bottom hole on the turbo is the oil drain, so none of them connect there, the oil feed doesn't have a banjo on the turbo, it's the one opposite the drain. That leaves the other 2 as having banjos with one pipe having banjos on both ends.

Check your banjos again. According to me and Mark there are 3 banjos the same and one smaller. The 3 are for the water lines. I wasn't aware that the holes in them are any different, so they should go anywhere. The oil one goes on the block and will probably be different.
I'll be doing my turbo soon, so I'll have a look when I do it, but that won't help you now.

haha SORRY every1 my bad 
how thick am i! cant believe ive done this. lol i just spoke to bob at gtir r us & looked at all 4 bolts and 3 of them are 19mm & the other 1 is 17mm so its self eplanitry where it gos... :roll: :der: sorry for the wasted post & ur time lol. lesson learnt haha

Likewise, I thought the water and oil lines were different sizes; it's a poka-yoke to prevent exactly this kind of problem... at least that's what I thought.
So, is it actually a standard turbo or is it a newer equivalent? - I would have thought the connectors were the same.
Are these standard lines you've got or uprated braided jobs? - Maybe they sent you the wrong kit. Mine has a steel line taking water into the turbo rather than a hose.
Following the advice above I'd guess that the two that are the same are both water lines, and the one that's different is the oil in. If it seems to have a restrictor, that suggests it's meant for a BB core turbo (because it needs a lower oil pressure than a journal bearing).
