For being hard, i honestly haven't had any past experience with turboing a car. My one buddy and I worked on it for a solid day and got a lot done. The rest I basically did on my own during nights and weekends i didn't have work or school. I'm not sayin anyone could do this but if you take your time and have common car knowledge i think you'll be alright. Also zzp always emailed me back asap when i had ?'s, and I sure had a bunch for this being my first build.

They welded up a second bung on my dp for free when I say welding up the bung I'm talking the bung for the drain oil line from the turbo bc u have to drop the Pan drill the whole so it drains above the windeg tray and find someone with a tig set up

could you thread it in to a bolt hole instead? or the drain hole?

im not saying higher than the turbo. im saying higher than the oil level in the bottom of the engine.

im just trying to find simpler ways to install the kit. not argue

The Allen ports in the block are oil jackets that have pressured oil so no u can't have a drain line into a pressured oil port u would just have 2 pressure lines then so how bout u take ur oil pan off and take it to a machine shop that has a tig welder and a drill press and pay 30$ to have it done or u can do it the wrong way and mess up a $1000 turbo and possibly a engine just saying
