t25 oil feed line help

[mistagst]

The Part just came in today looking to switch old one because it leaks prety Bad but the one i got in is Not the Same as the one i have the one i have goes from oil Filter housing to Top of the turbo. The one that came in has a big bolt that looks like the one that is facing the Front of the car on the turbo is that right can i make it work?

Pictures? Perhaps a Banjo fitting like this?? Google Image Result for http://saabworld.net/attachments/f70/4238d1302671641-changing-fuel-filter-16v-c900-tj-ss07.jpg

Ya looks exacly like that one

As long as the one fitting is the same size as the hole in the OFH and the line is long enough you'll be fine.. Where did you buy the line from?? FP sells a kit with a 90* fitting a lot of us use.. If you enlarge the pic in the link you can see the 90* fitting Im talking about.. It is the correct size fitting an will fit the oil line.. But if your current line is the correct size disregard...

On my car that Banjo fitting goes to another Banjo fitting on the block Not to my oil Filter housing which is why im confused

 

[crash89]

Could you take some pictures?

I currently dont have a working Computer i am doing this on my phone on my car which is basically Stock the Banjo bolt on the turbo goes to a Banjo bolt on the block the 90 degree fitting on the oil Filter housing goes to a 90 degree fitting on Top of the turbo which is what i need does the turbo have 2 feed lines?

 

[SpiderGST]

The top line is the only feed hole for the turbo the other two bolts on the turbo are the coolant feed feed and return lines for the turbo. The oil return tube is on the bottom of the turbo cartridge going into the oil pan. Hope this explains it a little better. I would look at getting a new OEM line or trying to figure out a way to use the one you have. Do you have a pic of the line you bought or a link to it?

 

[crash89]

The stock 2g oil feed does have two hard lines pieced together.. Where did you buy the line that you just got from?? From what I read, if I read it correctly. You need the top piece of the two, correct?

If you were to buy the line from the link I posted in #4 you'd eliminate both of those lines.

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=380424765888&index=14&nav=SEARCH&nid=81054537173 bought this one which im pretty sure is what i need theres no Banjo bolt picured im guessing i got the wrong one

 

[crash89]

No, that looks right.. It goes straight from the port on the OFH to the top of the turbo.. The 90* end on the line is the turbo side and the 90* fitting goes in the OFH.. This will remove both hard lines..

 

[mistagst]

So i did get sent the wrong one?

 

[crash89]

Is it the same as the picture in the link? One stainless line, one 90* fitting and one male to male fitting and some crush washers?

 

[mistagst]

No Mine came with a Banjo bolt

 

[crash89]

Just one? Ok this is really harder than you're making it. So, which end do you not have from the link you provided?

 

[mistagst]

Your confusing me more

Ok the 90 degree side goes to the turbo, the other end can go one of two places. 1, down by your oil filter where the original one is or 2, from the head just above and to the left of the turbo. if the line you have is not long enough to reach the oil filter housing you need to feed from the head. check the classifieds i have an oil feed that just came off my t25.pm me if you want it.

 

[mistagst]

The 90 degree is for the oil Filter housing it wont fit the turbo

 

[supermario300hp]

No its not. the 90 degree is for the turbo. theres a double ended male adapter that you need to make it fit. i got my kit from extreme psi and it came with all the parts needed. I just did my turbo swap yesterday. 100 percent the 90 degree goes into the turbo and the female end of the line goes to the housing.

I think maybe you got the wrong line. you probably got the line for feeding from the head. if thats the case just feed from the head and get a 3/8 plug to plug up the oil flter line/

I have one from the same company and it definitely is long enough. Had to use the adapter for the PTE turbo though.
