    Alright, lets try this.....

    Where are you located?

    What kind of car? ( 3rd gen what? )

    What setup? What all is in your kit or how far are you going? (fuel pump, injectors, etc.)

    Also, there is a forced induction section....might have better luck there.

    That should help. I was on my phone and couldn't see it was the mazda section. Again, I'd try the FI section.

    I have my oil feed line ran from a T fitting on the back of my block to the top of the turbo, and my return from the bottom of my turbo to a fitting that is welded to the oil pan.

    The manifold replaces your old exhaust manifold/header. Thats a simple unbolt the old, bolt the new. Then the turbo mounts on that. It can mount in a couple different ways, depending on your manifold (facing up, down, left or right).

    If you're running 2 wastegates, sounds like you plan on making big power. If that's the case, you'll most likely need to upgrade the fuel system. (injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator,etc)

    Have you planned out which Engine Management you'll use?

    What kit did you get? WHAT IS DONE TO THE ENGINE is the bigger ? That needs to be asked. Also dual waste gates on rx7's are common it is a good way to stopp boost leak and manifolds that don't flow very well


    Ballerness is like butter you just can't blob it in one place you got to spread that shit around

    Google "rx7 performance parts" and one of the reputable performance shops will have a single turbo install kit. Ie. Block off plates and the feed/drain lines. The block-off plate kit will be mandatory. You will be removing the air pump system. If you have any more questions, hit me up. I've owned 3 of these cars and have extensively worked on more than a handful of them.
