New Oil Feed Line,Run from Head/OilFilter?

[KeithL322]

As the thread topic states, I had posted a week aog or so about the crush washers leaking...its not the crush washers..its the stock hard oil feed line!! Its got a hole in it. So im going to go ahead and buy a stainless steel line...unless someone knows a good place to buy a CHEAP priced stock one. Anyways, for now I am looking at the extremepsi.com-SS lines. My question about them is, how much extra work will it be for me to buy the kit that feeds off the oil filter housing. instead of going off the head, do i have to drill and a tap a hole in the oil filter housing, I already searched and found pics of the oil filter housing, but I cant tell what exactly needs to be done to it....All insight would be greatly appreciated!

If your still on the stock turbo the head will provide sufficient oil. As far as taking it from the filter housing, my stock 90 housing has extra ports that are plugged so all you really have to do is unplug them and run the new line straight from there.

No drilling or tapping of holes needed. Here are instructions for ss oil line install:

BTW, stock feed line from head is about $35 and will work fine for you, p/n# MR239830.

My 18g was originally fed from the filter housing, that was too much pressure, now I feed it from the head.
