Serious here, park that car. It is a complete fire hazard. I don't want anyone to die in a fiery blaze, and you are on a path to do so with that set up. All of those poorly terminated oil lines are a bad, bad thing.
Park it, read, read more, keep looking and reading other builds. this will give you plenty of time to save up money to fix all those hazards.

Your best bet is to place it in the trash or melt down the metal to salvage & recycle for a small profit.

I was trying to find the highest quality part. The manifold is out, so it a tie between:
1. The boost controller with a magnitude of lines and tee's leading to gawd knows what.
2. The heater core re-routed to the turbo. Don't know where the hell it goes after that.
3. The oil lines clamped onto a barb-LESS hard-line, using a high quality 1.5" worm clamp, choked down to 3/16".
This dude needs to pay close attention and examine as many build threads, stickies and help threads, as humanly possible for the next three months. No, six months.

The hose with the worm clamp, that's your coolant feed line, right? Please say it is.
As for your turbo replacement, go hit up zilvia for a used turbo, you can usually get a used 2560r for around that much.
