Purchasing a set of OEM Ford Turbo's - which supporting parts should I purchase?

[josh_ruppert]

I found a decent pricing on some turbo's through a dealership in Michigan. Decided to spend an extra $150 on each turbo for the 3 yr / 36k warranty instead of the Dorman's on rockauto.

What else should I be purchasing? I read that I should be purchasing oil lines. Should I replace upper and lower? Somewhere on the internet, I read that it is a good idea to replace coolant line as well. Is this correct? I wouldn't think coolant would be a concern since my coolant is pretty clean. Thought I would ask you guys.

Also, does anyone know if the OEM Ford turbo's come with any supporting hardware such as gaskets, etc? I called the dealership but on one was able to take my call. Perhaps it is lunch time.

Thank you in advance for the suggestions.

I would think it is rare that someone isn't left to answer that telephone even through lunchtime. My small dealership always has someone to take over the receptionist's phone during lunch. Try again.

They emailed me. They are out of stock until end of April.

At minimum:
New pickup screens and gaskets for oil lines
New gaskets for coolant lines
New gaskets for exhaust
New hardware for exhaust
Oil and filter
Ford coolant (i think its Yellow now)
Big Syringe so you can prime the turbo with oil by hand before installing it

You will need to remove the oxygen sensors as well so may want to just be ready to replace them too (easier with special socket)

There some pics in my signature from when I replaced mine.

I purchased the following:
2 turbos, new supply lines (both sides), new return lines (both sides) new coolant lines (both sides), new o2 for front, 5 bosch oil filters (they were around $3.80 each).

I bought new lines too but honestly I had a hell of a time trying to get the old lines off. So i ended up reusing them but i used the new gaskets and hardware from the new lines. The last thing you want is a kinked line that is stuck in the oil pan so be careful.

Don't forget the syringe so u can prime the turbos. Sometime they come with it but not always

I'll have to do research on proper turbo prime. Thanks!
