alright heres the deal i took my motor out without the turbo on it and no head on the motor. i ended having to drop the motor to the ground instead of in the air and i bent my oil tube from the oil pan to the turbo. the tube is no good. i was wondering if anyone knew where i could buy one for cheap. i looked at extreme psi and they have the steel line but the kit is like $90 and i don't need that well thanks guys
 
If funds are tight you can cut out the damaged portion of the pipe and replace it with fuel hose. You retain the flanges on both ends but have a rubber hose portion in the middle. Just slide the hose over a portion of the pipe and clamp it down tight. It has the benefit of being more flexible than the oem pipe but the disadvantage of having more places that can potentially leak. Still, many guys have done it without any problems.

If the damage is so close to the flanges that there wouldn't be enough hard pipe left to slide the hose over then you can try junkyards or ebay as suggested above.

Good luck.
