just wanna confirm before I buy**

got a spare turbo from the junkyard but the oil feed line was cut, will this work for a while? Link. I would go all out but this ebay SS line cost more then what I paid for the turbo ROFL

any negative comments about ebay ss lines?
 
It will probably do its job for a while, cheap ss lines tend to leak over time but if this is just a short term fix I would go for it.

Now to the turbo, you got it from a junkyard take it apart and inspect it.
It probably needs a rebuild. I would make sure it's in decent shape before putting it in my car.

thanks for the quick reply, you are right about the turbo but before I pulled it, I checked shaft play (barely side to side play). on top of that the car had no mods with 102k miles.
