Other than slim fans (found two 12"), a coupler reducer for the cai (what size?), and new oil and water lines (where do I get these?) what else do I need or is recommended to run my gt28rs?

Also, if anyone has some of these items pm me.

Depending on where you plan to tap for oil and coolant feeding line you have to measure how far it'll be from the turbo , same thing for coolant return line , easiest is oil return line which is about 10-12" if you keep turbo in stock location.

You can google for them for premade (atpturbo is a reputable place) or buy them pieces and put them together to your need.

Well you can use the stock oil and coolant lines. You can use the stock fans, and radiator.

I'd just get new hardware for the mani to head, mani to turbo, and turbo to exhaust. New gaskets.

I just pieced together ss braided coolant lines to plug into the stock location and it cost 160 bucks from atpturbo. Awesome stuff but if your lines still look good, I'd just keep them and use the money toward the 505 mani.

Thanks for the input guys. Also, how hard is it to "clock a turbo"?

Not hard. Unbolt housing, rotate, bolt housing back together.
