Well guys, it's been awhile. Times of doing nothing but janky wiring and basic mods were done to the Explorer, another drop was done, and the final is on the way. Now it's time to do the serious shit. I got a turbo off my buddies Talon TSI for cheap with full intention to put it on the truck, and hopefully not need to tune it, because i'm cheap, broke, and the truck is haggard. Now, my main problem is..I know nothing, i know exhaust gas goes in, magic, air goes into the intake, boom; power. Oil supply and return is already planned out, but i still have two extra ports, a buddy told me that's for overflow, but i looked at the Talon and it has some funky lines running to the head, and one that goes behind and under the turbo, so i'm guessing the block.

I'm sure i can flip the factory manifolds and run it as a front mount turbo, not a sketchy fender/low mount. I also have no idea what flange it is, how i'm going to run exhaust because i didn't take into account the built in wastegate(separate pipe? BOV maybe?) It's going to be a learning experience, and i want this to happen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated guys!
