OEM oil return line or

[apckofllamas]

This is the second oil return line i have cracked on my car, i was just wondering if i should buy another oem one or get a stainless steel one? the only reason i am asking is because i have heard people have trouble with them kinking and they are about the same price from extreme psi.

You can make your own AN fitting ss turbo oil drain line for about $35 assuming you have someone who can weld a bung for you, or you can buy a td05 billet aluminum and install that on the oil pan for another $13

i have access to a welder but i am nowhere near good enough to do that but thanks for the link, should i go with -8 an or -10 an fittings?

I feel like I'm advertising for ebay . But here is a link to a 10an flange for the turbo, oil pan, or both:

Personally I would go with a 10an, it will be slightly more but again think of the flow. I would weld it because of the crappy luck I've had with stripping oil pan bolt holes (this may lead to leaks). Welding a 8an or 10an bung solves that issue with the pan at least.

What part of the oil return line is cracking? What is your turbo setup?

yeah i figured i should i was just curious to why you linked a -8 but if i was going to weld it i would rather have a spare pan. thanks again though im just going to assemble my own

its the part where its flexible, and it was a 14b and im in the process of putting in a big 16g

I'm currently waiting for this to arrive in the mail (for a T25), but look at this guy's store to see if he has any kits for your application:

They also have a website: Kinugawa turbo Online Shopping - Home

-8AN is smaller than the stock diameter of the oil return line.

-10AN-12AN for journal bearing turbos.

AN lines tend to have a smaller ID than metal lines, the walls can be thinner with metal lines.

Get a OEM 2g turbo oil return and slot the holes out on the turbo side. Its cheaper then any other option given to you and still a bolt on affair. Dont forget the gaskets.
