Default Project WRX Turbo

I just bought a used TD04 off a WRX. Its going on my civic via one of Stealthmode's tubular manifolds.

If anybody has any insight on the following, please enlighten me:

Oil line fitting specs
Downpipe flange - where to buy?
Water lines..? he's including part of them. Do I just need high temp water hose?
Gaskets... any cheap place to buy other than dealer?

Any other advice/insight would be greatly appreciated

if i can remember right from mine...
i think banjo and bolt from earls is a 10x1.5 or 1.75...take it to a hardware store and just try to thread that size into the oil inlet hole to be sure. once you know what one it is you can just get stealthmode to get you the right one or use the earls banjo w/ nipple and fuel injection hose and clamps...make sure it's the hose that's rated sae30r9 or it'll fail. heat sleave/wrap on the lines near the turbo and manifold would also be a good idea.

www.uniquemotorsports for all flanges relating to ihi and tdo4L turbos.

i just used heater hose and hose clamps for coolant lines.

dealer was the only place i could find the gaskets.

The first flange is the one I need right? Isn't that a little restrictive for the internal WG?
