the one on the right is coolant and the one on the left (if a square head) is an oil pressure so it can be used, also like joe said there is another square head plug back on the drivers side right at where the exhaust manifold meets the crossover pipe that can be used

also to use either i would make your own feed line.

Not sure what you mean by make your own feed line. I only got a partial kit so i had a local place make me a couple of stainless steel braided lines...

Snapon showed me a pic over on OBN, so i found the plug i need.

Also got instructions from Russ to clean out the passage before i hook the oil line to the turbo.

I got it. Used a 2x4 to smash the firewall what i could and stuffed it in from the bottom.


IT RUNS!
I'll be damned if it isn't the quietest though.... can barely hear the thing, even when revving....

the turbo is very quiet.

until you get up around 2000 rpm, then you will hear it a little
