I have not done this. As a matter of fact, I don't even have stock turbos.
But you can do it.
Get weld-on fittings and weld them on to the stock pieces and you are set.

Seems like more hassle than it's worth as the stock setup works good. Making the drain lines to attach to the stock locations on the engine might not be very easy.

Same thing there.
The stock lines attach via a pipe with a flange.
Get a second weld-on fitting and weld that on to the pipe.
Any Earl's distributor should have a catalog for you to browse and pick out the parts you need.

GAWD...

Why do people "mod" when there is no point? Stock stuff works great and best of all it is already on the car!

Leave it alone, spend your $$ on a worthwhile mod. Even the stock fuel lines work fine until your pumping some serious HP.
