just a reminder to watch your return line. if you are like me and used 5/8 heater hose for your return line be careful. they will break down eventually due to heat from your exhaust. just be careful, i know i spent alot of time and money on my motor and if i didn't watch that thing i would be replacing all those nice forged internals right now. if anyone knows where i can get big diameter ss braided line for that thing let me know. thanks.

Check with paul, 99gst_racer. He sells -10an stainless steel braided line..Either 30" or 36", not sure which, I need to buy some from him. Need money first. I know he has it though, and it is whatever size is standard for oil return. Do you have the fitting for the turbo that it screws onto, and the pan?

I was just saying those are the lengths he has. He doesn't target us turbo'd 420a's as buyers in particular. You're right 30" is more than we need, but it isn't TOO MUCH. Atleast not for me...Anyways, his price probably beats that too. 44.00 seems like ALOT to pay for 18" of line, though it is big.

I bought a piece of galvanized pipe and bent it. I used that where the downpipe is. This way the metal is taking the abusive heat from the DP, not the rubber hose.
