You can't really just get new oil lines make sure turbo is fully clean and there is a guide online to do it. One nut is a bugger.

Basically you want to flush coolant and oil system when you change. I'm sure you need to change thermostat as well as you won't get all the coolant out. It is basically to stop blockages and killing the turbo.
