Remember, you can rotate the center section of the turbo approximately45 degrees to pick up some height on the outlet side. You will want a 45 degree fitting to straighten the line back out. Your oil inlet will aim toward the headlight.

I want to say it was 1/8" npt, but I could be wrong. I had a fitting already laying around so I didn't go buy one so I'm not positive what size it is.

Wastegate is placed in the same spot that you put yours on the logs on the cross over section.

If i remember correctly, the aux port on the block (above the filter) is 1/4" NPT.

Used a tial 5.83lb spring so we will see if that works.

Okay next question for everyone what gasket should I use on the head flanges. I have 1 3/4 primarys with D port heads. I tried to use just rvt and that did not work. I got the car running and took it for a spin . But gonna tear it back apart due to the head flanges leaking. I was looking to use some circle port gaskets percy carbon xx but the gasket opening is 1.5 inch. Suggestions on d port or circle port. Def need a gasket cause the rvt isnt cutting it.

Orange RTV > gasket

When I pressure test my headers the gaskets sometimes leak, but then I use RTV and it seals up nice. Got to let it dry over night and the surfaces need to be clean for the RTV to seal. Not sure which gaskets you should use. Hopefully someone chimes in with a brand.

Ya I used just rtv no gasket gonna try a gasket and that. Im thinking that the 1.5 in primary gaskets wont do much good at all. And the d port will seal the head perfect but not the flange.

Edit: Just found these I think the flanges would be more considered over rather than round gonna pic these up and try them.

Dont use rtv and a gasket.... just use one or the other.
