I was wondering if any other dsmer out there running this oil return line from Forced Performance? If so, how well has it hold up, how well is the fitment, any leaks or kinks and does it withstand the heat generated by the downpipe since the line is positioned right next to the downpipe? I am still debating whether to get just a 1G oil return line for my big16G or this one. There roughly the same price so I was wondering what are the benefits, if any using the Forced Performance oil return line? Thanks.

I had one of these. The fitment and everything was great. But 6 months later, I heard a whining noise comming from the turbo and it turned out that the Oil return line kinked up... I had to take the thing off and get new gaskets and replace the hose with a little bit longer one that would hold up to the heat.
 
That looks like Hi-Temp Tygon Tubing (used quite a bit in Nuclear Power applications) I take it those are Stainless Clamps on the Hose & NOT Aluminum Clamps? JDMAWD has another Aftermarket one with the Braided Stainless Sheath that looked REALLY nice also for just a little more $ than Stock $ - The 1G part is basically an Aluminum POS that likes to crack in the Flex area - ANYTHING is an upgrade over it IMO.
 
I have this one. It leaked at the bolts the first couple hrs but seems fine now.
