As long as you run oil lines and get the piping on the correct side of the turbo you're golden.

Nothing to them. Sure you can get all scientific with them but let's be honest. For a >1k build, it really doesn't matter...

yeah that still didnt help lol

i literally have never been interested in learning about learning, all i know is that the ones in my trucks work and that when im having an issue i call my diesel guy lol

In that case, buy an eBay kit with shit turbos, sell the shit turbos to the clueless scene kids in your area, then buy good turbos for your kit

Profit??

Koj... you have half the shit to make that turbo kit laying around in your shop and I know you have the tools to do it....

Litterally the only things you wont have laying around are turbos (which you dont want from ebay), bov's, and intercooler. All which can be sourced cheap.

go snag a holset and 1st gen ram intercooler out of a junkyard for a couple hundred bucks. The only thing you would need to buy is a bov if you want to go that route. I would, for double protection ofc.

Just make sure you weld the hot piping inside and outside.

It would literally take you 10 mins to figure it out. Setting up turbo's is not hard at all. The biggest thing people struggle with is the fab. In which I know you can do...

This. And sometimes, tunes can be a nightmare.. But for an eBay kit, it's np..

I remember the old DSM took us like a week to throw together, and it was a fucking blast.
