Ok, you have to use bolts to connect the billet piece on the right in this image:



to the turbo... Then you use one of the other brass fittings to connect the oil line to the billet piece.

See thats the thing, the holes on the billet piece are smaller than the turbo inlet thread. Not only that but that billet piece has no thread in the middle due to the check valve.

Idk why that response made me laugh lol. No way I can check that this will fit the lines provided to me? Also should I replace the oil return while Im at it? The black hose wont clear the manifold as seen in the pic

Yes, you should probably replace the whole oil line kit. I was trying to help you to be able to use it (instead of telling you that you should’ve bought a “better” kit). I’m running a boostlabs oil line kit. It’s pretty expensive for what it is, but I have peace of mind cause my lines are of pretty good quality.

-4an lines are pretty standard for journal bearing oil feeds.

Your manifold will require a 45 degree adapter to clear the manifold.

Okay gotcha. Also just to be sure, when I spin the blades they should spin longer than a few secs if its ball bearing correct? And I'll look for some oil kits rn

Best way is to re-read the original ad and if that doesn’t specify, talk to the vendor.

Its finals week so Im kinda out of it rn lol but yeah its journal bearing. Also, idea. What if I pick up this line(linked above) and since it connects to a t4 turbo, I can run it and cut the hose and connect the rest of the hose to the oil pan and oil line?

That line that you’ve linked is for a dodge and is natural steel so it will rust. You will want stainless steel braided an lines.

this is what I’m running: LINK

Looks great. Id still have to buy that adapter I assume tho huh? But that was "easy" install? Hooks up to the oem spot for oil return and everything? If its really simple and wont give any headaches. I'll pick it up. And it goes to the IS300 union bolt as you had right?

Alright. I'll pick it up then. Get the adapter tho since my turbo doesnt have thread tho right? This is the biggest issue for me rn, the oil system. Once this is taken care of all will be good! I hope so at least lol
