Hey I just built a turbo kit and ran it today. What a hassle. It took a long time to get going. That thing on the side of the manifold is where the waste gate goes. Depending on its size(find that out) you need to get a waste gate. You can get the cheap one Delta gate but I highly recomend getting a Tial wastegate. I ran a delta gate and it had boost spikes blowing my head gasket. YOu will also need to run the oiling system. This I found was the hardest part. You need to put the turbo on and togeather, and see where the oil return would hook up on the oil pan. Then you need to tap the oil pan (take it off first) and hook up the oil return. I found it nearly impossible to find the right pipe tap for the return. You will need to buy some sort of return. Ebay has tons of them for sale. The oil inlet is a lot easyier. Right above where your oil filter sits is the oil sending unit. Take that off and put in a t fitting. easy to find in home depot. Then you have tons of intercooler lines to run. Good luck. Tell me what parts you bought spicificly and I can be of more help
