the other two are water lines. you have a water and oil cooled turbo. run water lines off of your throttle body or whatever coolant hoeses you want to use to cool turbo more. some people will tell you not to use them that they are a waste but it helps the longevity of the turbo and it is not har to install.

yep. your turbo uses the water to cool down the turbo. you can tap off the water line next to the TB to get water for it.

autozone, make your own.

Jegs/JC Whintley /McMaster Carr magazines or online, buy parts, make your own.

OR, email Flamenco_T aka Stan and ask him to make you a kit.

Make sure to get the water after it has exited the T-body. Don't know much about this but i don't think id want my throttle body heated that much

you can tee the water coolant lines right off the outlet on the intake manifold from the head. Just tee it off from there and you'll be fine. I can get you the Barb fitting to run the coolant as well, you really don;t need the stainless braided lines for the coolant, there's isn't a whole lot of pressure that hose clamp and barb fitting can handle, it has worked for years.

for the oil feed and oil return lines, let me know what kind of turbo that you have or palnning to get and I can make you a compelte kit. A lot of these guys have bought from me.
