Default Turbo installation questions

Do anyone have the installation instructions for their STS turbo that they can email to me? I need to know where to hook up the oil supply line and where to wire the oil pump up to?

Here it is, mine is a 4x4 so the driveshaft is close.
The blue thing is the oil filter!

Thanks for the picture. Is the MAF positioned in the intake pipe that runs from the turbo?

It will be close to your exhaust on your passenger side, you may need some type of heat blanket to keep your maf cooler. The wrap really helped allot, only wish i'd bought a wider peice to go over the whole MAF! The stuff is not cheap.

Has anyone tried an external oil tank for the turbo? It seems like it would be better than drilling into my motor.

FWIW mine is also a 4 wheel drive and I installed the little block that the oil fiting screws into pointing up and then ran the oil line over the top of the trans. worked out great and is no where near the front driveshaft. But I think Scotts being a 2500 probably has the oil cooler on it and that is more dificalt to drill out and tap that block if I remeber right from when Mort did his.

Also, the oil pump relay wire should tap into the gray fuel pump wire coming out of the side of the fuse box on the drivers side of the engine compartment.
