lol. i mean there is a good search function on here as well as ka-t.org to find all the answers you need.

but I'll spoon feed you a little bit. If you're going for a top mount setup, there isnt an elbow provided on the market like the t25 or t28's. You're best bet is to make a custom elbow. ATPturbo.com has many varieties of flanges that you can use to mate to the end of the turbine housing and any competent exhaust shop should be able to weld something up for you.
As for the downpipe, any typical sr downpipe should work. keep in mind, once you have the turbo in place and the required flanges. whoever is welding up the elbow just has to go from the ass end of the turbo to the 3 bolt flange of the downpipe.

If you're trying to cheap out on a manifold, just get an ebay one. megan and other comparable companies are basically the same as the ones you find on ebay, just deburr the inside of the shit they left behind and weld a few support braces and you should be golden

just go wit a top mount header for that size of turbo for better cooling for the turbo but if you cant find a down pipe just when yur done wit yur setup just drive slow cuz its goin to be hella loud but drive down to a muffler shop and just have them fab a down pipe from the flange and add a o2 sensor bun and fab a flange to the b pipe and yur done alot of people go wit that opinion i just fab my own down pipes from pieces of pipe i buy from autozone and cut it cut and fit it to how i want it to run:bigok:

yea ill proabbly tap into the oil pan
and yea i was thinking of the muffler shop idea since it seems to be the best choice

You have to tap into the oil pan for your drain line.
