hey guys, im almost ready to bolt up my standard turbo setup togther. just need some help with the lines running off the turbo and where they all go. if anyone has any helpful pics of their bays they could post up so i could work out where bouts everything goes that would be much appreciated. Otherwise, some helpful info would be good. Cheers, doing it all myself so still learning.

if you have a series 2 block you can see where the oil and water lines go.you'd have to be retarded to fuck it up. the oil return is obviously the big bung at the front of the block, youll need a 3/4 90degree i think from memory.

Only other thing you will need to do is put a t-piece in a heater hose for the coolant return. Here it is in the middle here: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
