Best speaking to them mate as if its anything like the lm450 i had oil feed problems with mine(oil supply too high) had to be fed from an oil gallery in the block and a restrictor as the turbo was flooding with oil and smoking.

Find out if it uses a garret Gt30 core and just buy them from Scoobyclinic or anyone else who uses that core on their turbos, my need an adapter for the threads could be different.

It's really simple,

Oil in, Oil out
Coolant in, coolant out,

If it is a ball bearing turbo an oil restrictior is required.

I reckon the ones that come with SC42+46, or the MD321 lines would work for you mate.

I spoke to chevron who said for me to send him the old oe pipes and he would makes the lines up to suit. Currently my car is still in the body shop but they are fitting intercooler oil cooler and ap brakes. I won't have the car back until the end of next week then we will tackle the turbo. So currently no movement bud. Where did you source the 420
