Hi, Guest
I wouldn't worry about "custom made" unless it's braided S.S.
The return line is the one that takes the hot oil from the turbo and returns it to the oil pan. It used to be that their kit came with a rubber hose, same as the feed line to the turbo. It requires replacement every 8-10k miles and the braided steel hose negates that need.
The thing is your ECU code may be significantly different than the 05 (changes were made to both engines, although I'm not sure how different they are) and you may need to retune from scratch. Any custom tuning on the XCal2 might be rendered useless. You'd definitely want to bounce your ECU code off FS and see what they think about it relative to the current owner.
The catch can and boost controller are nice bonuses, but the MBC shouldn't really be used from what I was told by FS because the wastegate spring does a good enough job keeping you at 8 PSI for max boost. Anything higher and you should be using the FMIC to cool the charge first.
What about the Bosch fuel injector harness adapters over at C-F-M.com? It saves you from having to splice into the stock injector wiring harnesses, making reverting to stock even easier if need be. I'll be buying those as well.
