I dropped the oil pan and started to modify it to be able to take the oil return pipe i had gotten. So far I don't have a big enough drill bit so I sent my friend on a shopping list of tools and things to get.

I mounted the turbo manifold, and air intake and also replaced the exhaust/air gasket while I was at it and mounted the turbo. In this time the EGT gauge broke

Tonight I will try to finish all the oil lines reinstall the oil pan and start working on the throttle linkage.

Try to take some pictures

Good work so far! What happened to the EGT gauge?

Ive been mostly working at night so I will take pictures of the car so far. I have to say the engine looks awesome with a turbo on its side, like a giant tumor of awesomness. Oh and the guage is fine but the probe is what broke, I left it on there while i was working and the weight of the manifold cut the wires right at the end of the probe so I cannot splice in new wire, I will have to replace the probe.

You need a step drill. HF has them the cheapest, but any hardware store will carry them. They work wonders with sheetmetal.

If you're running a stock turbo you probably don't need to braze anything-I though you were going vnt or holset or something like that.

Step drill, never thought of that. I may have made a big doody with where i am going to put the oil return but if ronnie who has also put the turbo on a 240d and did it this way and it worked for him, I will trust him.

Edit: heres a little teaser, its a terrible photo but i wanted to get the spindle thing inside the turbo in the shot, which i wasnt able to do anyway
