ok i got it all right and its running good.one thing is that the fitting in the turbo for the oil retern hose that hooks up to the reaturn pipe.when i put it on i serewed the brass fitting on first.and i gess i srewed it in to mutch case when i titened the flange that gose on the turbo, it cracked the pice alittle.so i put it on right and put some high temp permitex on it and its leaking kinda alot when i run it hard.so iam going to make a new pice ,out of stanlese steel and mabye get a gasket.what do you guys think?also is thier a gasket for between the turbo and the flang?

No there is no turbo to manifold gasket with my star kit. As for the oil return piece I'm not sure off the top of my head wich part you mean.

under the turbo where your oil return hose conects to the oil return pipe that is on the oil pan.thier is a fiting that screws into a flange that gets mounted on the bottom of the turbo.and then the hose gose on the fitting ,i cracked mine and its leaking oil bad ,i was thinking to make my own out of steel what do you think?

I wouldn't do that if it was me. But if you can fab one that works then go ahead but I bet you could find it at lowes.

well, thats odd my did come with a rectangular one that fits and lines up with the bolts so i figured it went there. I put it between the turbo and manifold and no probs yet. think it was there by mistake ? should I take it off?
