Alot of guys (me included) get their feed from the throttle body coolant lines, I dont run coolant through my throttle body, so I just hooked the hoses right up there. I did look at boomsticks DET before i did my swap to see what pipe his feed came from, an hooked mine up to the same one then hooked the return up to the other. DET's return right into the block.

As for the oil line, I hooked it up where the factory oil pressure gauge goes an put a T in for an aftermarket gauge.

Give me time after the convention and I can post mine. Lynch has the right idea though.

Slightly different to what you guys used to seeing being in a RWD platform, but you get the ideas.

That's what I've read but never actually saw how big the lines are, and if they're steel braided or if they're just heater hoses

Someone recommended using the JGY oil adapter for the oil feed, (it's like 60 bucks)

We had a thread on your car a while back in the turbo section actually. Sick build! I loved reading it! Your attention to detail was awesome!

I know its not a pic. But here's the routing for it that Ben described.

On my DET I saw that the guy that had it before me went from the coolant neck (right behind the thermostat) where the DET has a stock adapter for the coolant for turbo and he just took a heater line and hose clamped the copper pipe on for coolant sending and that worked fine for him, I do the same thing Lynch does on my VE in that I bypassed the coolant passage that goes through the TB and just capped that coolant line off, this would be a good place for you to send coolant for the turbo. On the DET the coolant drain line goes on the head but I imagine you can have the coolant drain line go anywhere in the coolant system?

that was probably the most clearly stated instructions I will probably ever get.
thanks, I'm going to be installing the turbo myself, never done anything of the sort so I'm trying to get all the info now
any tips?
