    Hi there,
    This should be good once you've got the jigsaw together!
    I've taken water for my turbo 3T from the rear output of the head on the exhaust side and put it back in to one of the water pump inputs on the suction side.
    For oil I ran a line from the oil pressure switch port on the intake manifold side to the turbo and you've obviously got the return sussed!

    What specs is the combo i.e. cams, compression, porting, forged internals, turbo size, intercooler???

    Cheers,
    Jason

    yer hopping she turns into a little rocket, with the motor im not to sure apprently its had a rebuild before i got it, and its got a 3t bottom end i guess ill find out lol.... jus gonna run low boost maybe something along the lines of a garret 2871r or 3071r with a decent size cooler, fuel system ect, and hoping to get some trd cams for my 2tg.

    i was thinking of gettin a sandwitch plate on the oil filter and run a oil feed line to my turbo,

    Run a briaded line from where your oil pressure switch is mounted on the block.
    Its on the inlet manifold side.
    Ive done this on my car and a also put a t piece inline to add my oil pressure sensor

    As for water, I disconnected my heater and ran one line from the back of the head on the exhaust side and the other comes from the thermostat housing. All using braided hoses and speedflow fittings

    ???? that last reply makes no sense?

    ok where your oil pressure switch is screwed in to the block, remove that switch

    Run your braided line into that thread in the block. It's a 1/8 NPT thread.

    Ive used #3 braided line from there all the way to the turbo.

    Optional extra is to put the T piece as shown above inline for oil pressure sensor for (gauge) or switch for (warning light)

    thats it

    This would be a good idea if you wanted to add in an oil cooler later. Buy a sandwhich plate with the oil feed or gauge provision (small hole) as well as the two larger (1 in 1 out) holes that you hook a cooler up to.

    As for coilpacks over dizzy you'd need to go with something your computer can run, so talk to whoever is going to tune it for you.
