RNR turbo install

I bought a used 50 trim RNR turbo kit. I dont have the instructions for it tho. If anyone has them could u let me know. Its pretty much a straight forward install right now, just want to make sure of some things. Also i may be missing a few small things so i need to find out what i need to get on Monday. Thanks for any info on this.

I have turbo, wastegate, manifold, dumptube, oil return line w/adapter for the oilpan, couplers clamps. I guess what i prolly need is an adapter for the oil feed line to go onto the head. And also a water block off kit since this is a dry cartridge? What do u think. Also any clue if i can use the stock o2 housing? The rnr 3in dp with welded on o2 eliminator came with the kit. But i have a buschur exhaust with slip fit. and the rnr has a 3in flange therfore the rest of my exhaust wont work with that downpipe.

I have an extra new head adapter for the oil line. PM for a price. You have to use the RnR downpipe, which means your are going to have to modify or replace your current exhaust. If I remember correctly all you need is a hose and some hose clamps in order to connect the stock water lines together.

BTW, you will need a oil feed line and a fitting for the turbo.

Yep. You can either plug the stock lines or link them together.

Also, you can feed the turbo from the head or from one of the ports available at the oil filter housing. There is some debate about whether or not the fitting at the head provides enough oil flow. And then some say that journal bearings need more oil than ball bearings.

No, because it has a metric thread on one end and a -4 AN on the other.

Actually i have 1 similar. It goes in a 45degree angle but dosent fit the head threads. Are the threads on the oil filter housing different then the ones in the head?
