I just got a "complete" turbo kit, or did I?

I just got an RNR 50 trim. It is supposed to be complete, but is it really? Here are some pictures, can you tell me what I am missing?

The turbo housing says AR .50 and the exhaust housing says AR .63, is this correct or should these numbers match?



Should the oil feed line connect like this?


And should it connect like this to the motor instead of a banjo bolt?


Also, am I missing a bolt and the nipple for the wastegate?


This is my first turbo kit and I don't know all the answers and can't find what I need to know in search.

Thanks

looks like all you are missing is an intake pipe and o2 housing, maybe a few bolts here and there.

I have an intake an o2, I didn't picture them because all that was fine. I was just wondering about the things I pictured. How much do you think to make it all good?

The turbo looks fine, as far as compressor housing and turbine section housing is concerned. Is this a new turbo(looks new)? If it's not....you need to check the shaft for play. Also, is this a ball bearing 50 trim?

Not BB, it's only oil cooled.

It is new and shaft play is less than my stock turbo (30k miles) which isn't much. From the looks of things and further research I need to complete my tial wastegate and get a couple bolts. Right?

You have your oil fittings reversed.

Are you sure? The one on top of the turbo goes by the oil filer for a feed line and the one on the bottom goes where the stock return is, right?

^^The stock oil line fitting uses a flange so the aftermarket line should also use a flage at the oil pan.

I am going to see if I can find a new fitting for the oil return. I am supposed to cut the stock metal hose and slide this one over it.

Here are some more pics of the turbo

You dont need any connection on the top of the wastegate if you are using a manual boost controller.
