When you buy a turbo unit second hand with the intention of using it for a project you are very lucky if you get one in good condition. Usually as we have already seen you have to purchase a tturbo repair kit and fit this to the turbo to make it functional. In addition to this there is also a large amount of extra componants that you need to put onto the unit to get it to function. This is something most suppliers neglect as they could normally assume that you are just replacing a unit with another. Normally you can bolt on your old fittings so this is not a problem. In my case I have to locate new parts: Lamda Sensor; Air Mass Flow Sensor; actuator and water union block off bolts.
Generally most of these componants are readily available and are easily found on eBay or similar auction house.
I located bolts to seal up the water unions after a days worth of surfing . Made from stainless these are quite an expensive item to purchase.

INCORRECT "I also needed to aquire an 1/8th inch connector with –4AN flange fitting to make up my oil feeds. "
