Working on mount, up pipes, and everything else that goes with it. Question I have is, are all turbo lines feed and drain the same? I got a Holset and didn't get any when I got the turbo. Do I need to go to a Holset dealer to get the lines? Or can I get a universal kit?

THe best advice I can give you is to look at a lot of the photos on here and also get a look at some Cummins engines such as L10, M11, ISM, 8.3. Also a big rig wrecking yard.

The flanges and the pressure line is useful. From what I've seen the drain line will not work, too long. Did you go look at pics of the different complete T-4 kits? There is a huge "pictures of custom turbo installs" or similar picture thread on here or PSN. Everyone posts pics of what is in their kit, so go to NLTD, Riff Raff and Carson Stauffer and learn!

Different fabricators have used either. I don't want to be a smartass or discourage you from this project but think about it. With what is involved with fabricating a turbo mount and piping and all of the details, if you arent willing to do the research should you attempt it? Have you looked at the info out there? I have tons of fab experience, friends with incredible fab facilities and knowledge and I'm going to buy a kit.......

Awesome! More power to you! But.....how did you build the mount without first designing and locating the drain? Since the drain hose is so short, it can be tricky to get the drain to line up even when you planned ahead......

I used copper on my turbos was pretty easy just takes a few trial runs.
