broke oil line to turbo, how do i get a new one?

[jlgeclipsegsx]

Ok, i had to replace my head, and when i was removing my turbo i broke a line and i was just wondering what i couild do to fix it, most likely buy it but i looked online and couldnt find one. I have a picture of the line.

To add, I have tried taking if off the turbo but i cant.

Check the vendors, should be easy to find one stm, extreme psi

You can get it from the dealership or vendors, that may carry it. You can also just go to the parts store and get the metric brake line in a similar length and bend it to fit. The 3rd option is just to get a braided steel -4 line with fittings.

what kind of line is it though?

 

[bryanwheat]

That is the oil supply line.

ok that is what i was going to do but i cant get it off the turbo

Can't get it off like the bolt is frozen? If that's the case try some pb blaster and let it soak for a few then break it free.

A lot of the vendors will carry braided steel ones for around 30-45$ bucks. Outside of that, JNZ tuning can get most, non discontinued OEM parts.

if youre talking about the 3/16 inch oil line with flared ends you can pick up bulk line at autozone, napa, oreilys.. any of the the "auto parts" stores... they have lengths ranging from 6 inches to 60 inches.. ends already flared with fittings on them and then you just bend them into place.. they cost about 10 bucks

is there any pressure going through the lines? and yeah i went to autozone and the fittings are not the same as whats on the turbo, unless they dont know what they are talking about.

Vice grips are the way to go getting that out. You will usually just strip it with a line wrench. As for the line size, it is not a 3/16 it is a metric. The standard will fit, but be loose.

Measure the length of line you need (there's a connector somewhere under the turbo; the line is not all one piece from the filter housing) and buy a section of 1/4" brake tubing from a parts store then bend it as needed. Fixed for $6.

Best way in my opinion to remove that line from the turbo is to cut the line about 1/2 inch from the fitting and put a 12point socket on it... then its just a matter of unscrewing it.
