I am not sure about where the water lines are coming from, I can ask Tom tomorrow. The only thing i can think of is it is a coolant line being used for the turbo. As for the oil, we are tapping into the oil pan at the bottom of the block which is also used to lubricate/cool the turbos. Not sure, but I think I remember reading in Tom's instructions that an oil return (or feed) line will be drilled right under the intake manifold area. This does not sound completely accurate as I type it out, so that may not be true. I do remember something needing to be drilled under the intake manifold though. I also purchased an oil cooler which oil feed lines will also be used for. Not sure if I answered your question...
Thanks for the reply! Just trying to plan out my build and those questions are the sticking points right now. Trying to find a clean way to get oil and water to the turbos. After that the next thing would be the tune. Hopefully MPT will have a cheap alternative to a dyno tune. Since I would be using the same turbos and manifolds as you, I wouldn't be to worried about having a remote (etune) done.
I have been communicating with MPT, and as of now I will be tuning with them remotely. If there are any major issues that cannot be fixed remotely, we will have to send my car to them for a dyno tune. As a college student, I do not have the time to go to FL for this, so hopefully they can achieve everything remotely!
Know that feeling! One other question..... What are you doing about the MAP sensor? Our stock sensor is 1 bar which I would imagine would not be enough for even low boost. So have you replaced it with an EB 2 bar sensor?
Yes, I am purchasing a 2 bar MAP sensor from Procharger.
Zack: I do not know if this helps answer what you are asking, but Tom sent me this picture. I believe that both of the hoses are going to and from the oil cooler mounted up front.
That does give me a better idea! I could use the outlet port as an oil feed line for the turbos. From there the return lines could run through the oil cooler and back into the inlet port on this block. That way no drilling would be needed and I still get an oil cooler in there.
Yes, I am wondering the same as well. Tom asked me if he could remove the washer fluid reservoir. I declined, because as a daily driver, Im sure there will be times I need to use it.
Same train of thought as me haha! I was planning on running around 6-8psi of boost.
