Mega N00b question About OIL Lines
the oil feed diagram isnt loading in the stickies
my turbo has 4 holes for oil lines, ive got all the lines and banjo bolts, but im not sure what to do with them now, im used to superchargers where there is only a a feed and return, what are the other 2 for? i guess 2 for compressor housing 2 for exhaust
so how do i fab up running all these, do i weld 2 into one and vice versa or what.
i run the oil lines from the back where the oil filter is (f22), i know i need a t joint. im sure its listed in the stickies, but i scanned over all the oil feed section, and am still a bit stumped.

Re: Mega N00b question About OIL Lines
you don't have to, the water lines keep the center housing cool and prevent coking if you shut your car off after doing a power run. lots of turbos are oil cooled only and last forever. you just need to idle your car for 2-3 min before you shut it off every time you drive it.

entirely up to you.
for the fitting to go into the back of the block you need a 1/8th bspt male to 1/8th npt female adapter.Google it Or just use a 1/8th npt male to 1/8th npt female and hit it with jbweld or lots of teflon paste.The rest should be obvious enough to figure out

Re: Mega N00b question About OIL Lines
water lines are not really needed. i have had a few turbos on my last car taht were water cooled and never used them with no problems. and there is no need to sit in your car for 2-3 minutes before shutting it off. just when you know your getting close to where your headed try not to get into boost too high and you should be good.
