Default 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.

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.
