I have brand new exhaust manifolds and all of the exhaust pipes from them to the turbo including the y pipe. I have a used turbo too. (I am using the new one on the HEMTT)
I also have new turbo oil feed and return lines, the turbo adapter that bolts to the blower.
If you are interested in...
Are you in need of anything specific? I'm not 100% sure the new engine was from an MK48. I am basing that on pictures I have seen of MK48's.
