Then I plumbed the oil feed line to the turbo:



I started with a brass "t" threaded into the oil pressure sensor port. I used brake line for the oil feed; flexible and durable.








Then I plumbed the coolant lines to the turbo. I started with a brass "t" in the coolant temp sensor port on the end of the thermostat housing. Then I threaded a brass barb into the head prior to the thermostat:





In effect, coolant flow will push coolant through the turbo while the thermostat is closed. Who knows what'll happen when the thermostat is open... I've never done this before!!



There was a boss in the block from the factory of unknown usage. I drilled the boss out, threaded it, and inserted the oil return hose AN fitting. Should work good.




The turbo is fully plumbed. The engine is basically ready to drop in.
