hey i have a small problem. i just got my hiboost turbo kit in the mail yesterday and i am missing the parts for the oil feed and return. i have the feed and return lines, but im missing the oil pan fitting kit(-10AN to -10AN adapter, -10nut and o ringed washer), the 3/8npt to 1-10AN adapter(oil return line fitting), 1/8npt to -4AN adapter(oil feed line), "T" fitting for oil feed line, and oil return line flange. my question is since im pretty sure it would be hard for hiboost to get me these by the weekend, im wondering if i can get all of these pieces at a hardware store. any help is appreciated, i am planning on doing the install on saturday. thanks

yeah i am stationed on miramar and i am always down for some extra help. this will be my first time installing a turbo kit, although i am not new to working on my car. you think that autozone would have these fittings or should i be looking for a different kind of speed shop?

ok thanks for the help i got the fittings i need. now one more question and im all set. i dont see anywhere for my o2 sensors to go. there are no spots on the downpipe or the manifold. i took some pics, just wondering if im missing something or if i need to go to an exhaust shop to have them put some in. thanks.

ya, you'll have to have the bungs welded in or run without them??? of course you won't pass emissions fo shua!

Ya I ordered the same DP and mani as you have from TBK, I'm just waiting on it. Only mine won't have the gay flex pipe for the wastegate.

You will need to weld in your own bungs for your wideband and EGT.

wont it hurt me to not run the o2 sensors, like a cel or something will pop up? ill probably just end up getting them welded in.
