Just to be an echo, I when I bought my AN return kit I was told should never go smaller then -8an

Congrats on getting it fired! Such a nice feeling when they've been sitting for long periods of time.

Nope, it smelled more like 6:1. :P

Never had an issue... But I bet you will.

Nah, those are -10AN lines.

Make something like this, weld an AN fitting on where the cross is and you can get yourself an extra inch of fall without modifying the sump or the engine mount.

These are journal bearing turbos right?

Someone may have already mentioned this.

Looks like your front and rear drain lines are reversed. Looks like the rear drain line should be on the front turbo and vice versa. The "L" shaped bend is pointing the wrong direction.

Nah, the issue was that the rear turbo just needed to be slightly clocked. The rear line is way shorter than the front, so that wasn't the issue

I ran into a problem a couple weeks ago, however, that pulled the car off the road... after swapping out the rear head, I got it fired back up yesterday :] Hoping to have it all put back together today, including FMIC installed - then I'll have some videos
