Oil Feed Line woes

[RaysTsi]

I got a T28 Killer which uses the stock T25 housing, during the removal of the stock T25 I pinched the stock oil feed line. It still flowed oil but I wanted to upgrade. so I ordered a SS line from turbotrix. When I got the T28 off and tried to install the SS line I realized that the hollow bolt that came with the kit was way to large. Discuraged I called it a night and did some research on the net. This moring I got e-mail back from turbotrix and turbochargers.com, but they couldn't help nobody has the bolt I need yet turbochargers.com had to special order them and they are still waiting to get them. Determined to get my daily driver I went down to the garage and stood there looking at my now broken stock line(who needs it when you have an SS line on hand right) when I realized that the bolt on the stock line would fit directly on the SS line and would fit the stock sized hole since it WAS stock. So I cut the stock line and slid the bolt off and the I cut the top off the bolt. I now had a hollow stud that fit both the turbo and the SS line. I then installed it with no probs.

Sorry its so long but my brain never works this well and Im pretty happy with my original thinking.

Nice . Just make sure that thing won't leak or break off.

yeah just be careful with that, make sure you check on it on a regular basis becuause you dont want to lose oil to your turbo.

its just temporary till turbochargers.com get the bolt I need. To make it work you HAVE to use teflon tape and an o-ring! Or it will leak I know i tried without both=oil leak big time. With just o-ring=oil leak small. With both=no leak. When I said no probs I meant fitment wise you have to really pay attention to how it seals. Or you will lose oil where you need it most, right before it get to your turbo. I hope this helps anybodu out with the same prob.
