ive got about 50,000 boost controllers and bov's (nice thing about working for a manufacturer)

3 bar map sensor is already installed (haltech)
the fuel pump is coming with the fuel upgrade kit.
my exhaust gaskets look fairly new (less than 20k)

Im gonna do all my lines in aeroquip an cause i get a great deal on them through a friend, can anyone tell me whta fittings and lengths of line i will need for the oil lines? again its a garrett turbo.

which other gaskets will i need?

i can sell you an oil feed line and fittings for the turbo if its the same as mine i have a couple spares

pm me if you want

I went through the fuel system and replaced every o ring. also i took off everything on the engine and if it had a gasket i replaced it

for the oil drain line youll want to just find the right size ss hose to go from the turbo to the block. im using both oil drain lines even though I have just 1 turbo
