INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1) Gain access to the LH engine compartment by removing the ‘gill panel' and opening the cowl
door. Remove the cabin heat inlet Scat tubing at the LH upper baffle. Remove the ‘PRV'
tube, P/N FT-B8.5/1-200A by disconnecting the hose clamps which secure the upper and
lower couplings. Disconnect the MAP Reference hose, P/N FT-B8.5/1-5T from the ‘PRV'
tube prior to removal. Cap all openings. Reference Whirlwind Installation Instructions Drawing FT-B8.5/1-03, Fig. 8.
2) Spray penetrating lubricant onto the forward lower wastegate hardware which attaches the
‘stub' pipe, P/N FT-B8.5/1-109 to the wastegate assembly. Recommended products are Kroil, Yield, or WD-40. Reference Drawing FT-B8.5/1-03, Fig. 5 and 36.
3) Use the next few minutes to inspect the tailpipe clamp as called out in MSB 98-1. Discovery
of a bad clamp at this juncture will save duplication of effort.
4) Remove the forward lower bolts, nuts, and washers from the wastegate assembly.
5) Select the 2 AN4C13A bolts from Service Bulletin Kit 2000-1, along with 2 AN960C416
washers. Install the plate, P/N E200-2-001 beneath the ‘stub' pipe flange. Reference Drawing
FT-B8.5/1-03, Fig. 36 for details. Add washers as necessary to obtain correct thread protrusion. Install new nuts, P/N MS21046C4, and torque to 110 inch pounds.
6) Install band, P/N E200-2-002 over the upper tailpipe and position near the forward flange,
refer to Drawing FT-B8.5/1-03, Fig. 36 for details. Install the correct bolt, washers , and nut
IAW Figure 36. Ensure the band is positioned over the top edge of the plate before securing.
Torque hardware to 110 inch pounds. Inspect the installation for conformity to Figure 36.
7) Protect the paint on the ‘PRV' tube with masking tape or a similar material and install the tube ensuring that protective caps have been removed. Position the couplings and install the hose clamps, securing the ‘PRV' tube with no interference relative to surrounding structure.
Remove protective covering from the ‘PRV' tube, connect the MAP Reference hose, and the
cabin heat Scat hose.
8) Conduct an induction leak check to ensure proper seating of the hose clamps which were
removed to gain access for the installation.
9) Make the appropriate logbook entry as called out in FAR 43 (a sample of which is contained below). Certificates Of Compliance for traceability are enclosed with each kit. A copy of this entry must be returned to Tornado Alley Turbo, Inc. 300 Airport Rd. Ada, OK 74820 to track compliance with this Service Bulletin. Copies may also be sent via fax to 580-332-4577.
