You are installing a turbo, but don't know how to jack up the car?

The rear jack point is the diff housing, the area around the drain plug.

The front point is on the crossmember, but you are not likely to get the jack under the front.

It's better to jack from the side points. You can lift the whole side at a time and can place your jack stands on that side, then go lift the other side the same way.

Depending on how low your car is i believe you need the little jack to get it up a little before you lift the front end with the big jack.won't fit otherwise.once you have the car up with the little jack you can see under the car and you will see where you need to jack it up from.It's under the engine area.same thing on other end

Peace

Or drive the front tires up onto some 2X8" boards to get the jack to the front center jacking point. The rear should be already accessible.
