Default Help me identify some lines, please. 14b

Just need a little reassurance before I start plugging stuff in. It's a 14b, by the way.

Where does this line go? 1G DSM BOV


I think one of these is a water line, but only one of the turbo projects used a water line and it didnt' show which line it was off the turbo. Also, I just need clarification, so can you tell me exactly what the labeled lines are?


Little different pic of the same lines.


Ok, this is the other side of it. C is the same line from the other pics and now we have a D. I am thinking C is the drain line because it looks like the flange I got with my kit, but that's why I am asking you guys. And what the hell is the thing with the question mark?


Many thanks.

that line goes to the intake manifold.

c is oil return.
a is oil feed.
b and d are water.

Sweet, thanks. Should I even mess with the water lines? Plug them up, or leave them open?

hook them up since you have the fittings for the turbo. just run some tubing and hose connectors.
or
you can leave them open.

The thingy the question mark is pointing to is your wastegate actuator, it opens the little flap that routes exhaust gasses around the turbine to keep your boost at whatever level the spring inside is set at. Its kind of important, I wouldnt throw it away.
