As stated in the title, what oil drain line can I use with a L2R turbo on a 2g? Currently I'm using a cut 2g oil drain with rubber hose and it's slowly leaking. The one AGP sent me doesn't bolt up so I cut it off and end up throwing it away. It doesn't seems long enough to connect to the hole. I emailed AGP and they said they use 1g oil drain line on the L2R.
Dose anyone know how to make it fit or what oil line to used?
 
I used a cut 2G with a rubber hose, no leaks at all.

I swear I'm going to weld an AN fitting on the pan and just use a SS braided line on my next upgrade
 
THe 1G and 2G have slightly different bolt hole locations and are at slightly different angles.

Where is the line leaking you have now? If done properly it should be leak free, however somethign similar to what L2R said is ideal (or using a backing plate in the pan and just screwing in an AN fitting. Making your own really does not cost to much. You may want to consider doing it at the next oil change so you dont have to waste/reuse old oil when removing the pan :thumb:
 
It leaks on the lower end clamp by the oil pan. I will try to tighten it up some more. BTW, where can I get some high temp rubber hose because the one i use is from auto zone and when it get really hot the rubber hose become very solf. I asked Napa and they said regular rubber hose will not withstand the hight return oil tem and will melt.
 
I used 3000psi hydraulic hose with the fire proof housing. It's holding up really well. I got 5/8th line which is slightly too small for the return hose but I heated it up and slid it over then used a T-bolt clamp for it. It doesn't leak at all. I had to try about 4 different 5/8th hose to get one that was tight enough though.
