You may need a threaded IAT sensor with a bung for your intake so it doesn't pop out when the you start making boost. You will also need all of the necessary lines and fittings for the oil feed/drain, and the turbo coolant lines. You will also need an oil scavenging pump if you mount the turbo low. also make sure that you get an aluminum weld on bung for the oil pan for the oil drain.

good luck,
-John

-10 braided line is what I have used in the past. Jeg's carries them along with braided line a fittings if you need them too.

can i take the small stock fittings out of my water pump and tap it for npt or an fittings the only reason i ask is i made everything fit and for got about my water pump. and it is too close to my manifold so i want to tap it for a 90 degree elbow so i can hook my hoses up for my heater. or is there a electric water pump that doesnt cost 400 -600 dollars for ls1's?

so i have decided to take a 1/2 npt to -10 an 90 degree elbow and tap the water pump for this and run braided hose to my heater fittings on the fire wall. and i may do that for the second fitting too but with bigger fittings
