just a few questions.

The oil catch can can be relocated but what about the line that connects to the bottom of the can and goes to the block. mine makes a 90 away from the block. Do I just cut it and route it back to the new location of the catch can?

The turbo Im getting isn't watercooled. Do I just plug the Water lines or to I need to run a line from one to the other to keep water flowing?

Oil lines. for a T3/T4OE

I have the return line, but where do i pick up from.
What Size fittings do I need? Any specific brand, matarial.
again this is on a Blue Bird DET.

TIA

Yes. Look at my pics here: http://www.sr20deforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10505

Look closely at the can in the last three pics. There is a red NAPA (very unkinkable) heater hose that goes to the bottom of the can. I just turned my can around instead of cutting the bend. Make sure you keep the can as upright and level as possible *and* keep the bottom of the can higher than the inlet on the block. It has to be able to drain back down.

BTW, my father called me today to let me know a late Christmas present came in for me from him: a GReddy Catch Can! :)

You can plug the lines. It's just a water cavity. Frank Orozco plugged his inlet and outlet. You can hook them up later if you wish. (My turbo doesn't have the water jacket, neither did Jay Hassinger's)
