Help me with my turbo install thx k bye (2002 OZ Rally)
This wont be a weekend project. It will be a couple months. I hope.
As far as right now I have a separate engine with 50k miles on it that i plan on putting the turbo on and then swap the engine in there. I have almost all parts....I think. I'll put up a list later. I have done lots of reading in this forum and am learning a lot but I am not 100% positive on some things. Here is my first of many questions to come.
I need an oil return line. Will this work? Is it ok to buy ebay quality oil returns? I know i don't need 17 inches so can I just cut the line?

to cut it, you would want to tape it very tightly with electrical tape, and cut it. problem is, short of a proper steel braided hose cutter, you would want some interesting cutting tools for a perfect fit...if the cut hose end frays AT ALL, you will have a very hard time getting the -AN fittings on the end...the last thing you want on a turbo set up is for your oil feed, or oil return to fail, or become obstructed. that being said, it doesn't need to be that fancy, the scavenge side of the turbo's oil system is not pressurized, so you really just need a fluid seal, so barb fittings and hose clamps Which you can buy before various turbos will work, but you will want at least a -10 size hose, which is half inch inside diameter...this way you can cut with whatever you have around...I used a hacksaw, use fine tooth blades. You also want to make sure the fittings you get, fit your turbo...if you don't have a turbo in-hand, don't buy oil lines.

I have this here. Does this get tapped/welded to the oil pan? I don't see how it connects to the turbo with out a hose.
I have a turbocharger. Has an oil feed line already that fits right up to an oil sandwich adapter for the oil filter.

you can't weld brass to steel, and obviously you will need a hose, and a fitting on each end...the bottom of the turbo center section will have the return port on it, you need to find what fitting you need for it.
you could possibly braze that fitting onto the pan. Tapping the pan would be sketchy as you would not have much thread engagement...
what kind of turbo is that? stock Evo 8-9 twin scroll?
I also read your first post again, and you don't want to install the turbo on the engine before dropping it in the car, you'll want as little as possible on it...

I'l have to correct you on that...i built my engine and had the transmission attached and it was really easy to fit in the engine bay....just make sure the passenger side fan on the radiator is in front of the rad and not behind to have some space and not melt the fan!

My PC was destroyed last week by liquid being spilled on it. 
so i havent been on here till now. Idk how to upload pics from my phone so hopefully i will get a new one soon. Especially since i will need to tune.
My buddy came over and i decided to install the turbo kit on my car as it is now with almost 180000 miles on it. Then maybe this fall/winter ill swap the engine and maybe ill have a newer transmission by then too.
Turbo setup
16g evo 8 turbo
Evo 8 intercooler/mishimoto (have both)
Wrx 440
Evo maf
Big bore fuel rail
Speed corps header
Forge wastegate
GReddy bov or evo 9 (have both)
Intercooler piping
Manual Boost control
MAP 4 bar (guessing this is for speed density tuning)
Need to get fuel pump
Removed all ac stuff. Lines, compressor, thing infront of radiator.
Removed power steering also. Just connected the feed and return together.
Mounted header and turbo to engine.
Removed battery. Will relocate to trunk later.

I think it looks much better now. It was easier to do it there.
What is this thing i have circled.
Here is a pic of the turbo i bought. It was from somone that had it on there lancer. Stock evo 8 turbo. Already been grinded down.
Didnt get a pic of it right after the header was bolted in but here is one right before.
