I have a 57 trim bullseye turbo, setup on a EVO3 manifold, and a SLS downpipe. My problem is the oil return, and feed line will most likely touch both of the oil lines. Both have been replaced with stainless steel lines, but there is no other way to route them without buying a bunch of new lines. These are the lines that came with the install kit. I was wondering if header wrap is enough to stop it from heating these lines up too much? Thanks -Cap
 
put heat wrap on the downpipe and hose insulating material on the oil fee/drain. I'm curious to know if they are "touching" or if they are "pressing" the lines. More pressue on the lines will cause major problems down the road.
 
No pressure, and I may be able to reroute the return line, by cutting it shorter. But the feed line isn't going to go anywhere.

Here you can see a little of what I'm talking about. I may end up running the feed infront of the turbo, and cutting the return a bit shorter.I think that will give it enough room.
