the oil lines will work with no problem. you just have to clock the turbo to line them up. It is a pain to clock the turbo though. you have to loosen the vband and the snap ring both. I ended up using needle nose vice grips to do this. You need realy big snap ring pliers and i couldnt find any local. you will have to weld up and fabricate IC piping as well. you just need a 4in vband flange and 4in ex pipe to weld together to make th DP work, Overall its easy as long as you can weld ex pipe
