for the feed, youll need a -04an fitting on each end, and youll probably want them straight, as i dont know if youll be able to fit a 45 or 90 degree fitting in there. the line should be -04an as well. youll probably want it 9-12 inches in length.

the coolant lines use -06an fittings. i would go with straight or 45 degree fittings, just test fit the turbo and determine where you want the lines to go to find the length of the lines and angle of the fittings needed. they will need to be -06an lines and one will need to be about 16in long, the other maybe 18in or 2 feet?

at one end, one of the coolant lines doesnt go into a fitting, but slides on a tube coming around the back of the engine, so youll have to decide how you want that to work. with the number of fittings available, you shouldnt have a problem.
