i was driving my car today stopped at a light and smoke was coming from my driver side wheel well i got under the car and the oil line on the bottom side of the turbo is leaking oil where can i find a new line at i have a big 16G. or is there a better aftermarket on i could get instead thank a lot
 
Any of the dsm shops should carry a ss oil feed line. Slowboy, DSM motorsports, buschur.
 
i believe it is the oil return line n the bttom side of the turbo with a plate a bolt eac side correct? would i be better off buying a feed and a return at once?
 
Do you mean the oil return line? The one connecting the turbo to the oil pan? If so, you can do many things. You can get a new OEM line, fix/modify your current line (if the flex section is leaking which is common, you can simply cut out the flex section and add in some heater hose to your desired length using hose clamps to adjust/ affix.) Or like mentioned above, you can visit one of our sponsors sites and pick up a nice SS braided or Pushlock ( I prefer pushlock for the return). It will come with all new adapter fittings, -AN fittings and hose, everything needed for a badass return setup.
 
Well if the return line is broken you can a couple of different routes. You can buy a aftermarket ss bradied one from any of the vendors i posted before or you can contact jnz tuning and order up a replacement, they have great prices and better customer service. Also if the tube is cracked by the flex part you can cut that piece out and place a piece of tubing in place and clamp it down onto the parts of the return line left. Any way you go make sure you get new gaskets.

If there is nothing wrong with your current feed and you dont' absoultely need a SS braied -4an feed line for a needy turbo, then all you would gain is a nice looking feed line.
