Im rather suprized I havent had any major set backs yet (knock on wood!). Ive taken my time and set a daily goal up for myself and tried to stick with it. Even when I got ahead I cleaned up and planned the next day out. This way Ive been 80% ahead of myself on ordering small things like nuts and bolts that I missed or didnt have from used parts. Would be 100% but some how the tech's at my local toyota cant order the correct part even if I give them the part #'s.

So im not getting oil flow. My relocater is getting oil to the filter, the cams are not getting oil, the sender unit is not getting oil, the turbo is not getting oil. Since some oil is flowing Im going to hope that means the pump is working and that something is just not flowing properly.

First thought is the earls filter, Ill get this noob question out of the way, could I have the lines mixed up with the relocater to be getting the wrong flow? I assumed it didnt matter but then again its something so easy to do I didnt put any thought into the actual lines besides keeping them run safely.

YES!
they are one way. there is an "in and out" marked on the filter part of the relocation thingy.
if your not getting flow, reverse the line.

for sure. I know there is an "in" and "out" marked on the filter side, but there isn't on the engine side adaptor. I remember when I was putting mine together I had to stop what I was doing and come here on the internet to look for pictures of which line went where in the block adaptor like 4 or 5 times because I kept forgetting and I wanted to make sure I got it right... I would tell you which goes where but I can't remember again
