you just hook up the oil lines like any other turbo out there. just leave the ones on the waterjacket how they are if your not gunna water cool it. doesnt hurt anything.

you don't need to use the water cooling ports on a turbo, On most turbos they are simply there to iliminate the use of a Turbo timer.

If your not going to use the water jacket, then it would be a good idea to plug the holes.

Check the FAQ for how to hook up oil/water lines

Post the link for the water line if you can find it... I plan on using mine (why not?) and want a second opinion as to where to tap in. I've searched a couple of times before and didn't find anything useful.
