    Has anyone installed a 171702 Borg Warner turbo on a Series 60 engine 14L. by themselves?
    I know there are some adjustments needed to be made and trying to get more information about it.

    Have one on mine, you'll need it tuned though to make it run correctly.

    It's already tuned. I just need to remove the original turbo and install the 171702 one. But I know there are some adjustments needed to be made like oil lines. Do you know the steps for doing that?

    The Drain tube Plate that bolts on turbo is tight but can fit and the Drain tube can be cut and use a Silicone hose or something that takes oil and heat or need to Fab a new drain tube the pressure line Fitting in the VGT turbo is Oring ftting and the BW will have 1/4" NPT Thread Hope that helps you may PM if you wish
