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.

Re: turbo questions

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

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.
