Alright, i have almost everything I need. Just missing a couple things.

One thing is a downpipe...ive got the SSA manifold with dump tube but im going to need a downpipe...the dumptube outlet is only 2.25 inches...can't seem to find a downpipe that size. any suggestions?

next thing, im missing the oil outlet fitting (male to hose). im running a t25 from an SR, thats 1/2" npt right for that fitting? will i be able to find that at home depot?

also im going to need a return oil line and the fitting to go into the bung on the oil pan. i have the feed line. any special size you guys suggest? 5/16"?

if i think of anything more i will post it up. even before i put my kit on i thank everyone for the help ive gotten.

this is what i have as far as the "dump tube"



and this is showing the 2.25" ID of it along with the 3 bolt flange

1. looks like a regular 3 bolt flange. any exhaust shop should carry it.

2. if your turbo has the drain flange with female threads which it looks like it does, yes, you should be able to find a fitting at a local hardware store

3. 5/16" is on the small line, get a 5/8" (-10AN) hose, which is probably what the return flange is threaded for.

well the only reason i said 5/16 is because thats the size i have for the feed but i can get 5/8 if thats what i should do.

so until i am able to get it to the shop i guess im just going to have to run open dump tube?? thats gonna be nuts...lol

but im sure there are a couple local shops that i can get to with no problem

i would suggest 3/4" for the return line. thats what i am running, altho it really depends on the size of the fittings you are using on ur oil pan and for the oil return. For the pan, i went with 1/2 inch.

Any sr downpipe would work. I bought the Tanabe 80mm one.

but all of the SR downpipes i find are 3", i have 60.5mm exhaust and so is the dump tube that i have...i guess i'll have to go to a shop or get new exhaust

would this work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33630 i guess id have to get 3" exhaust though.

not trying to be a pain just trying to clear up some last minute questions. thanks again
