dont forget t's for vacume lines get more than a couple....get some vacume hoses, teflone tape, oil, extra oil pan with oil fitting welded on will also save u time. Dont forget the oilpan gasket.

Nothing helps more then a good friend (in my case it was my dad)
Things to remember: Extra fittings for fuel clamps, hose clamps, etc etc
-Extra Vac T's
-Exhaust Manifold Gasket
-Honda bond for oil pan
-Oil pan gasket
-a good work light/snake light
-Oil for your engine (after the install)

Re: Turbo install prep... (SiRkid)
As far as priming the turbo, all I did was put some oil in the inlet and spun it a couple times by hand. (I have been taught not to touch the turbine blades, because the oil from your hands is actually enough to cause a hot spot. Then again, it might have just been Cummins being cautious)
You will want to prime the turbo feed line by turning the car over with the coil wire, or plug wires off until oil comes out. (about half a quart.)

Re: Turbo install prep... (FredoSP)
if u get really excited and impatient like i did the night before fedex got all my parts to me, take off ur exhaust manifold, and downpipe to cat, drain oil, remove oil pan, etc. not only can you troubleshoot rusted or stubborn bolts/nuts in advance, but it also cuts down on the time it will take you to install. i also read up on the install so many time befores i had all my parts that i pretty much went straight to putting everything on the second it got in and finished ~6hrs later. good luck with your install
