1.you might have to wait for the turbo to arrive to check sizing before buying
2.do you have stock exhaust manifolds still?

If no, you could bolt the turbo where the rear muffler sits and have a rear mount turbo set up and keep most of the heat out of the engine bay

3.you'll need oil hose preferably the high pressure variety and this:

manifolds are sorted, it has a v band flange and has an oil return line, ive been told i can just weld this to the sump?? or is it best to use the above mentioned item???

and what is the plate for??? with plate do i still need to weld into the sump?? or do i not need to use the sump?? id prefer not touching the sump if possible..

also guys. i have injectors, manifolds, turbo, oil feed line, oil return line, coolant line, 38mm tial wastegate and all gaskets etc.. also will be getting the dump pipe made soon, aswell as tune and fuel pump.. is there anything else ill need??

dont worry worked it out, quite simple lol.

another few things guys.

i will be using a wastegate (obviuously) i currently have 2 38mm tial wastegates, will 38mm be enough for a t04z turbo on a 5 litre??? or will i need a 48mm????

also is it better to run from the wastegate to the exhaust (as normal) or put a screamer pipe on it??? what are issues with screamer pipes?? besides being illegal.. do they cause any damage???

You could get the heads ported and polished and a stage 2 cam put in the same time ? Also as mentioned above, diff gears !!
when u mention a stg 2 cam! what is that referenced to? such as grind specs, hydraulic or solid
