Non VTG turbo lines

Im getting ready to swap to some Xona turbos and want to get the parts for the oil and coolant lines sorted out. I know there is at least one option out there for a complete set but I'd like to avoid the cost and make them myself. I assume it is the block fittings that are the proprietary pieces as the turbo side will likely be standard stuff. Does anyone have some info and up close pictures of what is needed? What about oil restrictors and check valves?

The only line needed is the supply for the coolant. The coolant return line, oil supply and return lines and vent line are all stock. They are standard AN parts apparently. Your shop actually made a set for another guy, check with him before ordering anything.

We have spoken about it. There were some parts salvaged from a line kit from someone out there. A check valve was one of the pieces and a block fitting with an o ring. Neither were ots parts that are easily identified. An oil restrictor was also added as the turbos were getting flooded.

Sambo said some have manipulated the stock lines too. I'd like to figure it out ahead of time but worst case I'll see when I have every thing apart and turbos in hand.

I think the xonas come with a "spacer" for the lines to connect to. Not sure if this is a reducer or check valve or whatever. That's why I allowed myself to get hosed on the purchase of the lines rather than try to figure it out, lol
