PT6266 turbo install help!

i bought a new PT6266 turbo for my evo, i just recived it now, but im confused about two things..

1. the exhaust side housing for example fits the manifold, but the the intake side housing is towards my radiator instead of pointing downwards so the intercooler pipes can be fitted??

2 .i also got a paper with it saying that, they require 1/8 NPT male fitting for the oil feed line and in the next line its written that "most applications do not require the use of an oil feed restrictor fitting"...now do i just run it with a 1/8 NPT feed line or use a oil feed restrictor? and what is a oil feed restrictor anyway?

i didnt have these problems when i purchased my gt35r.

Just put oil line to it like normal. Loosen bolts for cold side rotate housing in direction you need it to face.

ok, i presume the oil feed line is the one in the middle between the intake and exaust housing?

then what is the line for which is in the intake housing? there is a AN fitting nipple on the intake housing?

and just to make sure again, i dont need to remove the restrictor fitting right?

If you are not sure how to do it, take it to a professional.
I just installed my 6466 and it was straight forward. Do not remove the oil restrictor.

The turbo already comes with an oil restrictor. So you will need the 1/8 NPT fitting only for the feed line.

Correct.
Do not remove the nut or your warranty will be void.

Only screw a NPT fitting in there to fit the oil feed line and you are good to go.

youre rotating the compressor housing, nothing to do with the wheels at all. I think theres about 6 bolts that you loosen to do this

ok guys so finally after getting the engine installed, now its time for the turbo...

just need to know, do i run the oil feed line from the head with a banjo fitting or oil filter housing?

the previous turbo i had the gt35r, the fitting ran from the head.
