Default Drag Turbo Questions

Is this braded oil feed line acceptable on this drag turbo, Im goin to order a replacement oil return line and was wonderin if I should get the feed line also or just use the one that came with the kit.
Also I notice the center section of my turbo needs to be spun all the way around as the oil feed line is aiming down which should be aiming up, I also need to spin the intake turbo sice so it points down, sound right??
Whats the vacuum assembly thats included for, im goin to sell the fmu and fuel pump instead to run the vafc hack,.

The oil feed line that comes with the kit works just fine.
You are correct, the turbo will have to be clocked. The kit comes with vacuum lines and check valves. It would be better to get rid of those check valves and to run a missing link.

the oil feed with the kit is fine as it is, they works very well...

on the return setup, I'd suggest you to replace the line with stainless braided for added safety and security.

Well I was goin to run the turbo with a vafc , rc injectors 440cc, walbro pump 255, do I need a missing link on there too or these check valves, I dont know whats these are for. On my turbo civic I never ran chk valves or missing links and it ran just fine.

If you're running VAFC hack, you don't need missing link or check valves, the VAFC manipulates the map sensor

Humble Stan forgot to mention you can purchase the stainless steel return lines from him for a low honda-tech discounted price. Worth the extra $.

The turbo oil inlet should be pointing toward the block almost hitting the inner bolts on the turbo manifold, or should it be facing away from the block(spinning it all the way around?) I figure if its aiming toward the block I have to run the line through the manifold?

You are talking about the fitting that goes on the turbo for the oil inlet, right? If so, you can face it either way. What ever makes it easier for you to install the line. I can't remember how I used to have it on the DRAG manifold, but either way works. Also, make sure you run the line in a proper way were it is not in any way touching the manifold.
