One end of the heim goes to the turbo support (furthest hole out), and the other end goes to the top of the motor
. Put one side on the turbo support, and swing the other side over toward the top of the motor. you will see an open hole, if it's the same as my LBZ;).

If it's the same as the standard kits, there should be a bolt that secures a hold down clamp for a fuel or coolant line where it runs around the accessory bracket. You have to take that bolt out and replace it with a longer bolt and spacer as I recall. I believe it's right there on the side of the accessory bracket. Nathan usually sends very detailed instructions with pictures. Does it not have it there?

not very detailed at all, i talked to Tom (turk walker) and he said he had some trouble with the instructions also. there is only a couple pics throughout the instructions.

What do you mean? I haven't seen the components of the big kits in great detail, so I can only go off of what I have seen from my personal kit. You should have a total of 4 holes in the brace where the turbo sits. One big hole for the turbo drain, two holes on either side of the drain that bolt the turbo to the brace, and one hole on the edge of the brace closest to the motor for the upper support rod that goes to the upper part of the engine.

there is 5 holes total, 3 for oil drain and bolts. two at the bottom where it attaches to the block, there is only one threaded hole in the block in that area.

You have an 01. Ask duratothemax what he ended up doing. I think he put something in a thread somewhere.

not necesserly missing for sure, i cant find the 5" dp v band clamp. the 2.5" i/c tubes came with 3" boots, so im trying to track something down with no luck.

i need 3' of 5" pipe to connect the dp to the exhaust, the only places that sell 5" arent opened on saturdays.

its just not going as well as i had hoped.
