Oil feed on new turbo

[wvturbo2]

I searched for the answer and learned alot, but I'm still not sure. So please don't tell me to search the answer instead I'd be more than happy to look at a link if you post if for me. Anyway I've found that its better to run the oil feed from the oil housing instead of from the head, but I read that there is to much oil pressure from the housing, but that only effects bb turbos. Since mine is the 5031e its a non bb would it be fine being ran from the housing? Since my car is a 90 does the housing have an extra port to run the feed to? If I run the oil feed from the head will it really make that much difference?

Also from the looks of it this turbo is oil cooled only do I just need to block off coolant. Any advice would be great. I know if its oil cooled only the car HAS to be turbo timed or at least left running. How do you break in a new turbo. Do i need to crack motor a few times to get oil in it and then let it sit and run for a bit. I'm new to all of this obviously and I dont want to mess up a new turbo.

Make sure you prime the tubro by putting oil into it before installation. I personally would run the oil from the head with an inline filter. You can simply block off the coolant lines, although a non turbo water line would be best.

You can route the water lines back into each other. I've done this many times with no ill effects

As stated you can either get a NT waterpipe, or reroute the line's. Either is fine. If you are worried about the pressure you can run off of the housing and get a restrictor.

After reading more I may be able to bend the lines to make them fit. Hopefully there will be a way to get to use them on turbo if not I'm sure my buddy will just block them off.
