the stock srt coolant and oil lines wont work on our motors....they dont have the same ports as the 2.4....
so i chopped up the oil feed line and put some new bends in it and used some rubber hose so that it would work....
i havent used the coolant lines on my car, but i will on the new motor.....but they will be ran to the heater core lines instead of the block

the stock wastegate is not adjustable....and a boost controller will only raise boost pressure above stock so you need an adjustable wastegate.....
i got and AGP but FORGE also makes a nice one
