when I had my head out my oil line that goes from the head to the turbo started leaking(on the turbo side) and so I replaced the crush washers, now it still leaks, I was wondering if anyone has the same problem and also I think this is leading to my turbo making sqeaking noises because lack of oil. I Just need to know if I need a new oil line, or should i toruqe the bolt to a certain toruqe or if there is a SS kit i can but for it because I hate these dumb lines there anoying. Anything would be greatly apprishiated!

I was wondering if the threads are stripped on the bolt? they are kind of easy to strip. Maybe you could try a new bolt, or just try putting it on tighter. The torque value on that line is supposed to be 14 ft pounds. They do sell the ss lines I think you can find them on ebay.

Isn't there only supposed to be a crush washer between the Feed line and the turbo? I could be wrong but that's how I always thought it was, but what do I know? I'm just a 420A guy.


haha...The copper colored things are the crush washers. They are there, tighten that shit down.
