Oh...by the way, here are the results of yesterday:
Finally got it all apart, and got the new turbo in and the exhaust fitted and new pipe in to mate the new full 4" down pipe to the mbrp 4" exhaust with out cutting the old down pipe (for sale now if anyone is interested). Got the oil return bolted up, the turbo clocked properly, and hooked up the downpipe and the compressor outlet, primed the turbo with oil, and then when installing the oil feed line (which was the 2nd to last thing to do before I checked it over and started it back up, just needed to tigten up the mounting bolts) and the oil feed adapter ended up busting in half, leaving the threaded half in the center section.
Luckily, it was easily removed from the center section with a flat head screwdriver, but now I need to order a new adapter. Might just order a new oil feed line to go with it and be done with it.
Is there anywhere other than a Dodge or Cummins dealer to get the adapter? Hardware store possibly carry it? Hopefully somewhere that will have better chances of it being in stock. Maybe someone has a spare laying around the garage they can sell me?
