Default Converting back to NA have a few questions

Ok I just bought a new block with forged internals that im freshing up and completely redoing the turbo setup. Im pulling all the turbo stuff off the car so I can do some body work and drive it until I have the money to build a reliable setup as this will be my daily minus my truck in the winter. I Have a few questions. If you can please help me figure out these lines. I already downloaded the haynes manual. I think after looking at it I have everything right just want to double check.

Line 1 attaches to the fuel line in the back corner by the firewall?

Line 2 attaches to fuel rail.

Line 3 is the vacume line?

Line 1 and 2 should connect to each other to be NA?(the fuel rail line should run to the line int he corner of the firewall)

This is a vacume line correct?

The vacume line has a splitter for 3 hoses. The one was the bov connection the other one was the boost gauge connection.
Where does this vacume line thats connected to the fmu and the bov, and boost gauge connect to?

What is this line? Is it a water line? What connects to the back of the block where this is at?


Any help would be much appreciated. If not I guess I will have to spend some more time in the Hayne's after I get done yanking the rest of the crap off. Trying to gain a little knowledge so I know what these pieces are for when I build my turbo kit. This kit was already on here when I got the car.

Last 3 pics are of vaccum hose, oil feed off of oil sending unit from block, and of course the line itself. I'm N/A right now too due to issues, but I just ran my oil feed right into my dump and tightened it down.

Ok so it's the oil feed. Is there normally a line running to the block or is there a bolt that goes in the back of the block.

How does that work without a sensor there? can you disable that sensor? or shouldnt you be getting a cel?

I haven't drove it, but just around my neighborhood. The only time I noticed a cell was the maf sensor i believe when in boost.

Correction...MAP sensor. I'm gonna take a stab and say you bought the car like this or paid someone to do it?

how is that working for you? Any problems with oil pressure or leaking? I have a few ideas i want to try when I have to run with no turbo, yet still keep the oil line. However, I want to make sure anything I do wont have an ill effects.

Yes I bought it as is. I have a general idea of cars. I don't know the technical names for everything. I live in the hayne's manual to get alot of things done. My main concern right now is to get the car where it's reliable to drive then I will turbo it again later once I know what I'm doing.
