i jus got a t3 and a turbo manifold. what kinda material should be used on oil and water lines? where does the water line hook up? i plan on puttin this piece in myself, with a little help from everyone.

 

how much boost are you planning on running, most times the water lines arn't even nessisary.
for oil lines you need steel braided line with brass fittings to screw into the block and to the turbo.

im pretty sure you gotta tee off a rad hose for a water source.

 

i would like to end up runnin about 15-18psi, buti know i cant start that high. whats a good psi to start with?

 

also, how much psi can you safely run though a fmu? is there a good starting pressure ratio for a fmu? (example: 12:1, 8:1, ect..)

 

look around for a hose and fittings store near you(phone book)..they can make you custom length braided lines , and will have the fittings you need. i paid 25.00 for my feed line.and roughly 35.00 for my 1/2 inch drain line..as for the water lines if you are to use them . ive seen people use the coolant lines that run to the throttle body and just run them thru the turbo.

 

If the bottom end is stock, and using a 12:1 FMU, I wouldnt boost anything over 7-8psi
