Default Got my turbo and have a question????

I know where the oil out and the oil in are. But there are two other holes that are threaded and look like they mean business. What are they? Also this turbo has a wastegate i belive(Thats what the thing hanging of the turbo is right) but my question is there's a little nipple off the wastegate for some sort of hose, what hose is that? Thanks guys!

I believe that's the hose that puts pressure into the wastegate actuator; this would also be the place to hook-up a boost controler controller-however the hell you spell that.

The other 2 holes your talking about are for water/coolant. It's an oil and water cooled turbo, but if you only want to run oil to the turbo you can block off the coolant holes with threaded plugs. I have the same setup.

just use find the line feeding coolant into the bottom of the throttle body..replace that line with a much longer one and feed it into the turbo..then have the return line feed into the throttle body. easy as that.
