I want to know how you hooked up the oiling? What v-band flanges do you use to mate the turbo to your exhaust piping?

The oiling system... I just used an elecrtic oil pump to get the oil back up to the motor. Prolem is the damn thing leaks. so the truck is out of order right now. The flanges to the turbo. I bought the 3" flange kit off of ebay and made the exhaust. so I should have some pics up tomorrow since it is on the lift now.

Where did you get the flange that connects to the turbo for the oiling.
