Default remote turbo(non-honda)

So my buddy at work wants to turbo his tacoma! We're only looking for around 5 psi! Now I've had a turbo honda and oil lines were easy on that, but how would I go about setting up lines for a remote turbo set-up? Any info would be great! I know there are kits but we're gonna put it together ourselves...much cheaper!
So someone point me in the right direction!
Thanks in advance!

On F-Body's I've seen remote turbos mounted near the rear drive shaft, sucks to have to run piping all the way back there though.

hes talking about the charge piping,,but the oil lines would suck to...and im assuming you would need some kind of pump for the oil with lines that long..

ive never seen under the hood of those tacomas,,there's no room at all in there?

You will just run the feed line like normal all the way back to the turbo. For the drain line you will want to get a pump, such as the one tilton makes and there are a few others. You will just run the pump inline on the return line.

The charge pipes are pretty easy and straight forward....I was just concerned about oil feed and return lines! Anyone have a link to the return pumps?

Also I am NOT looking to buy a kit..way over priced! Looks to be pretty good kit though!

i believe there was a thread about this a while ago.

for oil feed, i dont think it would be anything different from something like a honda. as for the return, they use a pump. their pump, however, uses a failure/warning light. if the pump dies or begins to die, a light mounted in the cabin will warn you before the oil backs up and screws up your seals.

in that thread, they posted some cheap pump alternatives, but none had a warning feature.
