Now acording to my service book there are two types of sumps for the td42 in a gq, one has a 7ltr capacity and the other is 10.5, this one has the 10.5. That capacity is usually to the windage tray or just above so the big ends of the crank don't get a restriction from the oil itself while its rotating.

This is the full mark on the dipstick which is about 2" from the sump gasket
Attachment 50626

This is where the turbo drain will drain from into the sump
Attachment 50625
And this is where it will sit inside the sump itself, notice how much higher it is over the windage try
Attachment 50624

I'll post up the final result later on

Thats pretty much how I pictured it, cheers for the photos. Looks like the sump is pretty clean, not too much sludge?

Good job, does this mean jonos truck will be up and running turboed soon?! !

Hey guys
where do you buy that barb from? I am soon turboing mine and cant seem to find any barbs like it..
Cheers

Any decent industrial suppliers/hydraulics shop would have one

Yep Pirtek and Enzed etc.

Do I need it steel so it can be welded to the sump?

It'll be your best bet, or weld a bung in and use a Brass/Metal screw in fitting.
