You really don't need much. There is a nice guide out there, and the link to it is below, but I'll add a couple of things. When I put a TD04 into my car a few weeks ago, I found that Earl's makes some very nice 12mm anodized aluminum banjo bolts that fit perfectly in the stock 14mm lines, so you don't have to spend over $100 making your own. They have a small shoulder on them that's about 14mm in diameter so there's no slop when the lines are bolted in. They're about $6.00 each from any place that sells Earl's products, like Summit Racing, Jeg's or Earl's Store #1. If you don't get the stock drain pipe, you can find replacements on eBay, but they're pretty skinny. I put a piece of 5/8" fuel line over the drain pipe, and then slid that into the original drain hose and clamped it all together. Also make sure to get the oil feed line bolts as tight as humanly possible. Mine's dripping a tiny bit of oil, so I need to go back and get those things really tight. The feed bolt on the turbo is hard to get to, but I think a distributor wrench should do the trick.
