Hi guys, I need some help figuring out what I got here.

I think I can reuse the stock cooling lines which from what I can tell those are the lines on the side of the turbo.

The bottom is the oil drain line that goes to the oil pan.

So my theory is that the top hole is the oil feed line.

However, my stock oil line doesn't get snug in the new turbo I got. From what I can tell the line just doesn't bottom out, and consequently doesn't create a seal.

What parts am I missing, or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Andrew

Well with the tdo5 style turbo you should use the oil feed from the head. That is how it is ran on the 1st gen cars. You could either get a stock line from a 1g which is a metal hardline, or get a braided line from a vendor such as extremepsi or other companys that offer them. If you are going this route also remember you will have to plug the port on the oil filter housing with a 3/8 npt plug of some sort. Hope this helps some.

Where is the oil feed on the head? My kit came with some goofy hardline but I'm not sure how it would connect to anything. Thanks for your help.

It is on the side of the head right above the thermostat housing. I can't remember what the 2g plug looks like because mine already has the hardline in there. Its in open sight though.
