Just put a new turbo on my 92 1st gen cummins. New one has a wastegate. In order for everything to line up right, the wastegate is on the bottom. Problem is, the hard line drain going to the pan was hitting on the gate. So I cut it, and modified with regular tubing. Questions are: Do I need high temp tubing that goes to the pan and how important is it to have the injection port and the oil drain straight up and down? And also I have a little problem with the line going under the wastegate trying to kink. Help 1992 D250 4X4 1st Gen Cummins-3" lift w/315X16's on her. Custom Bumper and rack-pillar guages-Kenwood-after performance stuff, will paint. Pics soon

 

I would definetly use high temp stuff.heater hose issnt gonna work.The hot oil will eat it in a hurry.You may have to order from mcmaster carr.Id just block the wastegate unless youve got a small exhaust housing.

 

the closer to straight up and down the better, cummins has a spec for it but i can't remember what it is for the life of me...
and x2 on the high temp hose

 

Thanks for the advice guys. Trying to learn more about these 1st Generations. It's my first. I'm a fair mech and getting a little tired of paying high $ when I can do something myself. So far everything's been pretty easy. Just in the dark about a lot of little things.
