OH sorry miss understood.. thought you ment the vacuum lines.. Yea if the rpm turbo doesn't have the optional wet center then you don't use the coolent lines.. remove them and plug them. Just hook up the turbo feed (top braided line) and oil return (bottom thicker braided line)

cool, so the bottom line should have come with a replacement.
The tops easy.
the bottom: trace the line back and take it off of the pan, replace with new fat line. It should have a 90(provided by Rpm) on the botton which feeds out of the bottom of the turbo and into that line (provided by Rpm) to the pan.

The other line trace them back and use the plugs (provided by Rpm) to seal the water holes. HTH

Not the intercooler lines.. There's lines that run from your block to the stock turbo to cool the turbo. Your new turbo doesn't get these.. plug the ports bolt intercooler back on and go.

Re: need some quick help

thre should be a line from the front of the block right by the T-stat. That gets capped off. The other goes to passanger side block right under the motor mount by the dipstick and oil pan. That gets capped off. ANy auto store should have the caps. I bought a variety pack and was able to do it. Just be sure to use teflon tape on the threads.
