Looks like I was missing some harness bits. I was missing the female connections from the motor harness.(injectors/knock/crank etc) I picked these up at the wrecker but I think I have the wrong relays. Can someone verify? I think the one with the green plug is correct but I couldn't find that square brown relay one.

IIRC, Green should be main relay. Brown one u are missing would be the fuel pump relay.

Not much to report but I did get some new goodies. Hecker Machine adapter / flywheel and Outfront stub pipes have arrived.

This is a little close for me. Any ideas?

Also.........do I need this electrical thingy(red & white wire)? It also has a vacuum line to it and I think it goes/went to a canister of some sort.

Also can someone confirm where these (A B C ) go? I stole this from RonW hope he doesn't mind. I forgot to snag a pic of mine. RonW or others, where are your oiling your turbo now that it's in front and where are you getting your coolant line to and from the turbo?

Mine turned out wrong (below)

panel, please use whatever you need i've posted. sorry for the delayed response

A - capped oil return from turbo - new set up is dumped into bung welded to oil pan.
B - new feed to turbo. i had to use a piece that Forced Performance makes that works with the bango fitting on my rig that uses AVCS system. there is a -4AN fitting on the outer end that I then hooked my pressure line to the turbo. Since your system is different, you may be able to just pull from where the oil pressure sensor is located? then it would be a much shorter run depending if you turbo is located at the crank pully. the stock set up is the top of that hardline is then capped.
C - tubro coolant feed (coolant return is to top of turbo tank)

Wonder if this would be a good spot to mount an oil pressure sensor ?

possibly. the oem spot is right above the oil pump and probably the most instantaneous and accurate location. i just put a sandwich plate at the oil filter for the axillary dash gauge.

did you contact outback about the header? what did they say?

I have a couple of where does this go questions.

First one is behind the intake. Can't remember what I took out of this hole?

Image

And this one is a breather line that is 'T''d between the two valve covers and pokes out the right hand side and faces you between the intake and water cross over tube.
