Wow, this went from a one day job to a couple. Sorry to hear that.

Whenever I do a turbo swap I spray the crap out of the nuts and have at least one extra stud and nut, just incase one snaps. Heck , my first ever swap,I bought almost every new nut and bolt just so I didn't have to worry.

Good Luck. If you need an extra hand let me know.

WARNING- If you do not use heat, you will round the edges and make it impossible to remove!

WARNING- If you ignore this instruction and put your 1/2 inch air gun on it, you are screwed!

Clean threads, apply thread sealer to provided 3/8 inch BSPT to 1/4 inch male JIC (-4 AN) adapter, and screw into housing, use approximately 35-40 lbs/ft torque.

taken from the directions, i got the fp oil line used and assembled but i didnt get the plug for the head or the adapter... dont know why.

The bolt in the head is a M10x1.25 thread pitch bolt. I bought a 30mm long bolt and cut it down to be about 8mm long. You dont want a longer bolt going into the head and potentially restricting or blocking flow.

Do yourself a favor and keep the tune VERY safe.. I had 458torque, and blew a rod thru the front and back of the block. So id start a small side-savings for a built block.
