OK so im getting back to completing my custom turbo set up. the turbo will be about where the current rad overflow tank is now. im going to use a 944 tank instead.
the is a water cooled turbo. SO im trying to figure out how and where to do the oil/water lines for this turbo.

I have a brand new 944 Turbo tank that has an extra outlet for the turbo cooling line. I bought it from Tweeks.

I guess you could put a T in the heater supply pipe for the supply of coolant, or better yet, reroute it through the turbo.

You'll need about a 1" hose and hole in the oil pan for the oil return line.

For the supply you'll have to use a remote oil filter setup.

ok what should i do for the remote oil filter?

Were you just mentioning that the 951 tank had that or was you meaning you have it for sale(btw i have a 951 also)

You're doing this to an NA correct?

Make an offer on the tank, while I check to see what I paid for it.

Then you can use the existing oil feed, you'll just have to route it to the other side of the block.

so do i just get rid of that mess of oil lines in the stock set up? or should i save anything from it?

If you're talking about the oil return pipe vent lines, yes they can probably go, since your turbo will be mounted higher.

I'd keep the oil cooler hoses exactly the way they are.

Ok so im going to use braided stainless lines, but where Do i pull the oil from TO the turbo??, which will be where the Stock 931 expansion tank is.
also what size wrench to take off the oil line into the oil pan? looks like a 25 or 26mm??

From the stock oil feed that's on top of the oil filter adaptor.

I use a metric crescent wrench on those oil line connections.
