I really want to get my car back together tonight so i can move it to a safer place before the storm tomorrow (almost had tree fall on my car last hurricane where i'm at here basically in between Charlotte and Sarasota county).
Anyhow, the kit comes with no instructions and that would be great if i had used any AN fittings before. I know u need teflon, i know u have to wrap it a certain way, but i don't know where to use the washers included, or how exactly to tighten the fittings (i can't really get a 19mm wrench or 17mm wrench in between the compressor and exhaust housing of the turbo, there's just no room).
from what i could find from other clueless people online, is that u can't use the 90 end on the coolant return side cause it hits the arm of the wastegate actuator, some people flipped that arm over and it fit, others just said to use the straight end of the SS line like i have in the pic below.
this is pic showing that the 90 wont fit that i found on Nico:

This is what i did for that coolant line:
Now this is where i'm confused, in that pic on the line to the right thats not connected to anything, there's a washer between the pipe fitting (i think thats what the end fitting is called) and the AN fitting (the female one that the pipe fitting goes into? haha). As u can see with the line i connected to the cartridge i took that washer out and put it on the other side of the pipe fitting (between cartridge and pipe fitting). I don't think the washer needs to go there cause the end of that pipe fitting (double male ends) is domed or has a flare head and the female fitting it goes into is like cupped:
I was told u don't need teflon or a washer in between these two cause they are flared fittings that seal when they are tightened, is this correct?
Then the oil feed line below, i know it comes with washers for the banjo fitting side, but does the other end just need teflon on it? The side that goes into the turbo
So basically:
i know a lot of u are gonna get confused cause i don't know the right terms for any of these parts but i want to know which end of the lines should go where (i know the oil line, but coolant ones). And i want to know where to use the silver washers and where to use teflon for the coolant lines.
I found these 2 pics of how this guy on Nico said all the lines should be done:

Also, whats the easiest way to tighten them, and how tight should they be?
THANKS
