If using the GFB DV+, preinstall it on the turbo, hang the turbofold with just a couple of nuts on the flange, barely screwed on enough to hold it, like a 5 threads or so. Front top and bottom rear are easiest to access. While it's like that, insert the oil supply line into the block and bolt it down. It's much easier to reach with normal tool setups with the turbo having some wiggle room.
Once the line is installed in the block, you can proceed with bolting down the turbofold, working slowly across all the bolts from inside out, top to bottom, to seat it evenly and not damage the gaskets.

Thanks for the tip! One note on reinstalling and torquing the turbofold, it’s not always top to bottom from the center when tightening. I have the removal and install instructions for e series turbo In the op. I believe page 6 has the tightening pattern for the turbofold.
