What happens here

Carefully connect the turbo oil drain lines, ensuring they are tightened with the turbo housing off for easier access. Mount the turbochargers onto the headers. The video suggests leaving the oil drain lines connected during this process to avoid difficulties. Remove the front bumper to access and adjust the intercooler pipes, which may have shifted during other installations. Ensure all intercooler pipes are properly aligned and secured. Finally, install the coolant temperature sensor into the engine head, as this is a critical component that can be easily overlooked.

Goal: Integrate turbos and intercooler into the engine system.

Tools and materials
