well the turbo is under the truck, Oil is all plummed and seems too be working well, I can tell you there is no chance of not using a lift pump post turbo, the oil basically just runs out (no pressure) I think that the turbo is too small though. It is the loudest turbo whistle I have ever heard .....It sounds like the turbo is going to fly apart . Dont have any intake piping yet cause I think I am going to throw the 5.9 cummins turbo On there instead. But the good thing is that all the lines are there the exaust into the turbo is done (all the hard stuff) and I have a really good Idea of how to route the air to the intake. I used a standard fuel pump that pushes about 8-9 psi, I think I am going to put a pressure switch post pump so if it ever does stop working it will trigger a dummy light to let me know. As far as the oiling goes I got all the lines I needed at tractor supply for under 30 bucks .......a few elbows and couplers a couple check valves and the main oil feed is a 48"x1/4" hydrolic hose (can withstand 5000psi so i think is suits my application nicely. ) Return line is stainless steel line and transmission oil cooler hose. Hopefully it all works out. I will try and get some pics up in the next couple days.
