Its more complex than what you have indicated, lubrication and cooling plumbing also need to be addressed. Probably the reason for the purchase cost of a turbo installation kit.

I have an after market kit installed on my F77 who ever did the work went to considerable effort to install it.

hey guys i just ended up getting a DL50 and im going to put that in. figured it was better to get all the injector pump and other turbo spec parts in one go. i plan on just re routing the boost side of the turbo to run thru a small intercooler. any one had and experience with this?
