M20 turbo update. (archive)

Havn't installed yet, but installed the oil lines for oil supply and return for the turbo. the oil return install was a bit more difficult than I had originally planned. I started drilling in a bad place, but caught myself before it got really bad. I knew that the oil pump was at the front of the baffled part of the pan, so I thought the back of the baffled part of the pan would be safe. silly me. I started drilling into some sort of oil pressure thingy (can't think of the name right now, but I'm sure someone will fill that in for me). i saw what I was doing wrong, and pulled the oil pan off to inspect the damage. with the pan off, it was quite easy to find a good place for the hole and to begin drilling in the right place. I used JB Weld to fix the bad hole, and JB Welded the crap out of the fitting i put in the oil pan. let the JB weld cure overnight, and put the oil pan back on this morning. the oil supply fittings were less eventful in installation. no leaks yet. everything on the oil supply side was sealed with liquid teflon thread sealant. everything on the return side was sealed with JB Weld.
