Get steel braided turbo lines!!!!! TAKA lines for sure.... Get a GT Oil restrictor.... Call it a day... Seriously, get Taka so you don't strip your block if you have to take it off again...

A lot of shaft play = turbo is toasted....

thanks bro I thought I was supposed to find oil inside the turbine but oh well already took it and like I said this on has a lot of shaft play compare to the one I got
Also can I re use the gaskets or should I buy new ones?

Buy new ones for SURE!!! NEVER use the old ones.

Get a NEW nut locking plae as well. The will say you lots of grief....GO to hardware now and get new nuts... Locking plates I am referring to is where the turbo connects to manifold. If those break lose you gotta pull the thing again....

So do yourself a favor get all new nuts and a new nut locking plate and install by flipping the tabs up to it holds the nutz and never let them spin. I pulled it 3 times because the nuts kept getting loose... Even locktite won't hold it cause of temp..

Phase2 has them all.
