Question Theoritically speaking

The bare requirements for a turbo is a turbo, an exhaust manifold (something to connect the turbo to exhaust flow), and tubing to connect the intake charge to the throttle body from the turbo.

Note this is not a list that I would consider safe for any long term or even short term use, but aren't these parts technically the only thing you need for a turbo to work?

I might be looking into having a little fun with the stock SR turbo that I won't be using. My mom's van would be a very funny temporary victim. Although it's more probable to happen to a friends junk car.

^ That will work for about 10-15 seconds until you realised that a turbo NEEDS oil to survive. The end result will be melting a turbo for no reason.

Have fun wasting money.

good point, I completely forgot about the oil lines. Also cool diagram!! So okay I'd have to plumb in an oil line. I'd like to not destroy the turbo, just the other kids engine.

even with the oil line you'll run super lean the second you boost-
