Hey guys, finally got myself a turbo coming in.:) bought it from a local member here, it was the Bulleye 50 trim in the classifieds.
Any who, SBR is kinda difficult to reach, and with my phone being really hard to hear anything, Bullseye tried to help, but kinda couldn't answer my question.
I'm looking for a direct bolt-on to my manifold, which I'll port out and such.... is it true that the only thing i will need is a new return line and that's it?

You'll need coolant too. When you remove the coolant lines from your old turbo, they will gush out coolant (that is if you didn't drain it before hand, but you'd still need coolant in that case).
 
That's the problem, I don't know which one I need... one of the reps told me I need a new return line, and SBR told me I needed a new feed line.... I don't want to wait till the turbo gets here to then order the supplies, I wanted to order whatever I needed now, so when the turbo gets here I can just drop it all in..

And as for changing the oil... of course I will, LOL, I change my oil when I pop my valve cover off...
 
The problem with buying one of those kit's, is that you'll end up with parts that you might not need, such as the j-pipe. Granted, that might be the only portion that you DON'T use, but thats also a good portion of the price for some of these kits.

Basically this is what I'd recommend you pick up.

Oil Feed line (specify what type, i.e. bullseye)

The bulls turbos are ball berring correct? If so, make sure you either get a restrictor from the filter housing, or you feed from the head. Ball berring turbos don't like that much oil pressure. My .02.

Good info, I'll find out tomorrow...
