You could look up above in the sticky on the AGP turbo install kit & probably get an idea.

I removed the factory turbo, and still dont really understand the cooling lines. Also should i use a gasket betweet the turbo and manifold? I did not get one.

You should be fine , just don't up the boost past about 12 PSI untill you get your injectors & your AFC on there just to be safe.

I've never seen a turbo kit come with a replacement for the exhaust manifold gasket, but yes you should have gasket there.

Hopefully you were careful when taking out the stock exhaust manifold gasket as this will be reused if you don't have a new replacement. There should have been 7 bolts and three stock studs with nuts that need to be removed (if none came out already) for a total of 10 (6 on top and 4 on bottom). The ATP kit should come with 10 new stud replacements. The oil and coolant lines will vary according to the turbo that you got with the kit. If you have a ball bearing turbo you will need to run coolant lines to the turbo. If you have a good ol' thrust bearing turbo then you merely block off the coolant passage on the upper rear of the block and the coolant line that runs along side the valve cover. I'm not exactly sure what lines and fittings come with your kit as we get our own. Feel free to ask any questions. I will help as much as I can. I have installed more than one of these kits.

Well I got done with the install, and now I got a oil leak. I think its coming from the oil return line. It just seems nothing is going right with this upgrade.I going to order a new one, and the install my new fuel pump
