Specific questions would be easier, I could type all day about turbos.

www.homemadeturbos.com can provide some info, but if you have any specific questions I would be glad to help.

Why are you bumping when you haven't even asked a realistic question?

how hard is it to hook up the oil cooling and watercooling lines on this setup oh yeah and the dam vaccume lines are confusing to me as well

Allright, now we're getting somewhere.

Oil lines MUST be hooked up. relativly easy.

Ghetto:
Clamp rubber hose to factory oil inlet
Not as ghetto:
get correct thread fitting to barb adaptor for rubber oil line
Shiny:
SS braided kit w/ correct end to connect to turbo

I went the not so ghetto route. I used 1/4" black reinforced rubber hi-pressure hose. All connect to the block using a T at the oil pressure sensor. You can mount the T on the firewall, or on the block.

I did ont hook up the water lines, they are not necessary.

Vac lines are simple. Connect the wastegate as close to the compressor as possable. Connect the BOV to the manifold. Nothing else needs changed.

isnt that oil connect thing right above the oil filter ?? i am working on putting my turbo kit together i am pieceing it together as the weeks go do you think it will be hard to setup me and my friedn are pretty good at this but i am just concerned about the oil lines and stuff i know the oil into the turbo has to go from above the oil filter right then the oil leaving the turbo must go to the oil pan right

yes that is correct.

i was gonna use a vfac by apex for my fuel and stuff you think that will work too ohh and do you know anyone that has a t25 that they want to get rid of for cheap
