buying the GT2871R....
 
Im purchasing the turbo from pagparts, i need to find out which oil lines i need and the lengths of each one.
Also what else what i need besides the turbo and the lines to hook up to my existing manifold?
Im just needing everything that would come with the ATP ELM Kit...

to be honest, you should be asking arnold at pagparts that question he will sell you a complete kit.

You need more than a turbo and some oil lines. You needsoftware,a manifold, a downpipe/flangeto fit to the hot side, proper fuel delivery.....just to name a few. As Durtty said check with pagparts. Keep us posted on your upgrade!

Let me know if you want to buy a never used but installed Oil Return line for the PAG manifold. Also, if you have Quattro, I wouldn't get the Pag manifold.

Sorry, I should have said if you're going to, definitely get Arnold to fabricate the downpipe for you. The set-up I tried to run was the manifold, 2871r, and his Vband adapter. I mention that just in case the vband adapter was the reason for it not having enough room. Below is a crappy pic I took with my phone. Here you can see the vband adapter, and the thing above it is a 3" pipe. The other end of that pipe is connected to my exhaust, and it makes a 90 degree turn as soon as it can. There just isn't enough room for it to make a 180 degree turn. It would have to make sort of a horseshoe shape and the pipe would have to be touching itself. Arnold did say that he could make me a downpipe for $400 but it would be "hacked up".

If anyone is running this manifold - preferably a TT and Quattro, please post pictures!

I thought i could run the turbo on my oem manifold/atp??? Also i have 475cc Injectors, and GIAC X Chip.
42draft 3" DP, and Custom APR 3" Exhaust. What else do i need? Im confused now because i thought you could run this turbo and the "GTRS" on oem/atp mani?

Pag sells ATP turbos? If you want to use your OEM manifold you need ATP's eliminator 2871r. The normal Garrett 2871r doesn't work like that.
