Okay, you don't make much sense is your motor in there right now a REAL* 7m-GTE because if it is, then you should have a oil return, if not you can return it to the oil pan, you'll have to create it though.

Another thing is you need a turbo wiring hanress, it sounds like you don't even have that?

You need a turbo engine harness (same year as the 86.5...an '87-'88 should work though), assuming you are going to use the turbo electronics. You can't use a NA harness due to differences like the AFM.

This diagram shows the oil feed/return line:

The following pages from the link above show how to remove the turbo (and it's connections). The oil return attaches to the block just aft of the oil filter...the feed attaches to the block just aft of the oil pressure sensor (Page TC-11...bottom pic).

You need to read this:

Thread moved to the 7M-GE Tech Section...that's the place for swap info like this.

find out if you have a ge or gte, and is it a long or short block?? and get a wiring harness. is your turbo parts car complete?? you need to be more clear if you want help.

Yes, the user really is not confirming anything for us to help him on. This is hard because we can only guess what he has, and I can tell you, I am not about to do that, so until ( Better ) information is available for this, I am not suggesting anything.
