yeah, be certain you have the return on well...you'd be suprised how many people actually forget to even check it then notice they are dumping oil when they fire it up

Yeah im pretty sure i got it on good.

I pulled it off the motor and put it on the turbo then guided it from under the car as my bro pushed it on

primed the turbo then let it idle for about 20 mins

drove the car around burned the coolant and PB blaster off

never really know how small the stock turbo was until i got off.
