You're best bet is to Search, but if that doesn't workout I would try going to there website or posting this in the Forced Induction forum...

Good luck with your install...

Edit* Is this your first turbo install???

Yeah its a complicated procedure that is gonna require more than pictures. Either that or email the seller and ask them for instructions.

Well, if it were my first turbo install, I wouldn't really go for it, is there a shop where you could take it or know and trust somebody that could do it for you???

Dude, unless you have some serious knowhow, DO NOT attempt this on your own. Bite the bullet and just take it to a shop and have them do it, or at least the majority of the work. If you have some good mechanics ability then install the mechanicsof the kit yourself and trailer it to a shop and have them setup the computer /fuel etc. Word from the wise bro, I have been working on cars all my life (grew up on a farm) and now im an ASE tech at a dodge dealership, last year i attempted to turbo a 1995 240sx and three motors later, the car is finaly done.


Oh yeah, and XS/chrome masters engineering turbo kits BLOW. The turbo included in a similar kit was one of my issues, the compressor wheel blew into lots of tiny pieces on my first spool. Do a little research on the company and you will find there are very few people who acutally have any luck with these kits. Sell it and buy yourself a decent kit if you are serious about this.

I guess your set in your ways as i was. If you are refering to the turbo, you have to make your own lines. For oil pressure (im sure there are many ways to do it) you can run a T fitting from your oil pressure switch and reinstall your switch on one side and make a custom hose coming from the other. Usually for the return oil line You drill and tap your oil pan and make a fitting/ hose etc. For the coolant lines, there are alot of options, some people cut the IACV metal line and stick a T in there for the input and then you would have to work out a way to reroute the ouput back somewhere near the intake for the radiator.
