Help, turbocharging MP5!

[Bebotech]

So I have started putting together all of the parts needed to turbo charge my MP5. The only problem I have is figuring out where all the hoses go (feed lines, drain lines, vaccums, etc. If anyone out there has good pics of q turbo P5 that show all the lines and BOV set up please help. Even diagrams that would walk me through the steps I will inmenselly apreciated!

^excellent guide on how to get started. a few tips off the top of my head:
- many of the smaller parts (oil feed/drain, etc) can be found elsewhere for much cheaper
- get your hands on a set of msp waterlines so you wont have to purchase the short universal ones
- make sure your engine is in decent shape (compression test, resolve any CEL problems, all basic maintainence)
- make sure you have a good chunk of cash set aside before you put everything together, you'll most likely be running back and forth to your nearest auto parts store for small things you forgot to get and if your engine blows up or something goes wrong when you finally get it running it wont be as much of a hassle.

What's parts u have so far i turboed my na lx before I bought my Msp

 

[Bebotech]

I have the OE ecu, thunder mani, garett OE turbo, S pipe, plate for oil drain (between oil pan and block), gaskets, coolant lines, SMIC with OE hoses, and some of the oil lines. That is pretty much what I have.

sounds like you have the majority of it. if the smic you have is the oem one i'd ditch it and just get a front mount with hardpipes. the oe intercooler gets heatsoaked really fast

 

[Bebotech]

What I am really looking for is a diagram or pics of where the cooling and oil lines go. I would like to stay as close to stock as possible to avoid blowing my engine. I will probably upgrade the IC ones I see that the car works fine when turboed. Is my first turbo project and I am a bit scared to take on it to be honest.
