how do you run oil lines? I'm getting ready to install twin turbos on my T/A. I'll be having some help from a welder on the piping, but as for the oil lines that's all up to me. I've never run oil lines for a turbo and haven't a clue. Can anyone help me out? I'm trying to have them in the car by next week and at the track the following.
tap an oil source from above the filter so the turbos get filtered oil and return it to the pan above the oil line. Make sure youre drain is all downhill, otherwise youll have to run a pump.

I got my Function7 piece from Ebay. It built in to the mounting plange to the turbo. Jose said to start at a .060 and work from there on my turbo. You could call Jose at FI and ask him about the MP turbos.

anybody? I've never done a turbo setup myself. Also I need to make sure I have everything I need, so if someone could tell me what all the essential parts are that'd be really helpful aswell. I think I know, but I'm not sure.

I just feel like I'm missing something. I have my oil lines, catch cans, k&n filters with drycharge wraps, a shop to do my piping, onboard computer running efilive to constantly monitor my system, bov, wastegates,methanol injection system,what am I missing?

I already have fuel rails, injectors and an inline pump because I'm running a 200 shot right now. I'll be upgrading the injectors and maybe the pump for the turbos. I'm not using actual gauges. I have efilive always on monitoring my car and I watch the efilive dashboard which is essentially a digital gauge cluster.
