should be an oil return line, an oil feed line, and a coolant line on the turbo. after that you should be able to unbolt the manifold. along with the turbo

good stuff.. just to let you know................ the metal water/oil line will require you straighten the fitting out before screwing the banjo bolt back in. when you began to finger the bolt in, don't go crazy when it doesn't go in the first time.


personally what i do is LIGHTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! bend the head of the banjo section straight a little bit so that there is not an angle to it. the best thing do to is invest in some braided line. Its flexible and you will not have to deal with the annoying hardl-ine.
