t-78 kit...missing pieces?

Well, I just got the kit in today, that is a huge turbo!...but I was starting the install (I have already removed the stock turbos and mani) and I think I am missing some pieces. The noticable one is the "oil return cap flange", I can make one easily enough, but it is frustrating that I have to this.
Other pieces that are listed on the sheet but I don't have are:
-one of the silicon hose (there are three listed, I have two) I wouldn't see the need for 3 but they are listed.
-Rubber angled hose (for the airfilter), I am guessing the filter will just go right on the turbo?
- The Air control valve tube (steel) I would guess this is missing because I don't have the angled hose?
- There are 5 rubber hoses listed, I only got two, the 190 and the 50
-stuff for the 'airinx'...what is that?
Any thoughts or knowledge on these parts?
Thanks
-Dave

The airinx is the air filter if I'm not mistaken. That's about all I can help you with. Best of luck!

Dave,
The only rubber lines you need are for the oil return line and 2 smaller ones that are used to cap the stock turbo coolant lines. There should be a block plate for the rear stock oil return. The air filter just fits on the turbo with the clamp. There should be 2 blue caps. One for the airpump and one for the ACV. If anything is missing let me know.

Thanks
Jason

Hey jason, thanks for the info, I didn't want to bother you until I knew what what supposed to be in the kit. The only thing I think I am missing is the oil block off plates. There simply arn't any block off plates, there are three of those steel necks that I believe are the 'oil return tube's.
I will make the oil block off plate tomorrow, so that isn't too big of a deal.
Thanks for responding!
-Dave
