The turbo is installed along with O2 housing and wastegate. I'm just trying to do what I can while waiting for the intake cam. I have been putting off cleaning up the engine bay as it is my least favorite thing to do.
The drain line was kind of a pain to get right as it is pretty short and the hose wants to kink. Here is the order I did it in: (1) install straight fitting onto hose (turbo side), (2) bolt up and mark length to the 45* fitting on the pan, (3) install pan side fitting on hose, (4) install turbo side flange on hose assembly, (5) install assembly to pan and rotate up to turbo, (6) bolt turbo flange down. This was the easiest way to install once the hose was assembled. It took a while to get the center section and compressor clocked how I wanted it and in a way that put the least amount of kink in the drain hose. I had to grind down one of the compressor housing bolts to clear the AN fitting. I tried to keep the oil return as straight down as possible and the compressor outlet is also pointing straight down.
I am using a 0.070" restrictor fitting from BEP but I still need to put together a feed line. I just used the small green spring in the wastegate for now so it will be broke in at 8psi. Here is everything installed:
