    Below are some of the parts I have laid out. You experts let me know if anything appears to be missing. Primarily for the cold side. Put in some of the 4" stuff too for kicks. The smaller silver 3" pipe will be for the cold side. I have a 4" to 3" reducer to come off the throttle body. I'll probably cut the 90 degree turn off the 3" pipe and use that for the turndown. Then a silicone coupler. Don't think I have enough 3" for the piece going down unless the fitting for the blow-off can be covered over. Will be able to use the 45 degree piece and silicone couplers to come off the drivers side of the intercooler. Again, will need more 3" to meet up with the downpipe. Use the 45 on the other end of the pipe to connect to the downpipe. Will have to get some 3" pipe - I think Billy has some.





    What's this??? Has a check valve (?) on the end. Boost gauge related?



    Oil Drain...I assume the fitting on there is the one I use to thread into the oil pan:



    Oil supply line. I've got the 21/64" bit and 1/8" NPT tap. Think I just need the fitting to thread into the oil pan.

    pcv hose and tee, hose for the return looks like it fits right into the oil pan after tapping it with about a 1/2" NPT tap, HUGE!

    Where's the rest of it go?

    On the hose with the PVC - where does that run to? What's the T for?

    Is the return oil line TOO big? Should I reduce it down some?

    Where's the rest of what go?

    Oil return line is perfect! I guess the T is to tie into the other valve cover. I just got some cheap filters from the auto parts store and installed them in the PCV lines vented to the air. Does the wastegate have a tube on it? It needs to dump somewhere outside the engine compartment. I have a 3" V clamp flange to connect to the downpipe for the rest of the exhaust to be hooked up if you want it.

    *edit* I see the wastegate vent tube now lol.

    Do you have pics of it installed on the previous vehicle?

    Shouldn't the wastegate dump into the exhaust outlet?

    It can, or it can just dump into the air. It only opens when the turbo is at full boost.

    I know his is a front mount, but mine just dumps into the air too. Thats why I make turbo cars from the factory sound like sissies compared to mine when I let off the gas after full boost haha
