Hey guys I recently changed the turbo from a GT2817r dbb off an s15 to an Air Reasearch T3 turbo of a 1982 Mercedes Turbo Diesel with complete rebuild. The Turbo seems like an awesome setup with the top mount, but I'm having difficulties figuring out where all my turbo lines go. I think I found the feed underneath the turbo mani, but I'm not sure. If someone could please correct me if I'm wrong I also believe the dump is on the back of the block.

My old turbo was water and oil cooled, this one is just oil cooled.

Helpp please!

Oil return is on the oil pan about level with the little one you found, which is the feed.

Oil return is the barb fitting sticking outta the oilpan near the back of the steering rack/subframe dealy.

The oil feed is one of the fittings in the side of the block just above where the A/C stuff bolts on.

Don't forget to cap the water feed and return holes.
