Upgraded from 14b to B16g..now oil feed line doesnt fit! Help

[FullthrottleGST]

everything else fit nicely...just swapped all the stuff from the 14b to 16g. now the oil feed line on the 16g is bent slightly off of where it's suppose to connect to the head. ive tried hours and hours by trying to bend the oil feed line to make it fit, but it just wont! im really getting pissed. did anyone have a problem like this?

now..i was thinkin of either trying to swap the 14b's feed line onto the 16g..but will an upgraded braided stainelss steel one be better?

alright i just got done doing this myself so i can kinda help. On the oil feed line there is a male to femal connector in the middle of the line you have to disconnect the male from the female. It is a royal pain in the ass so i would just get the slow boy stainless steel line so you can get ride of that line all together.

if its just the bolt holes that dont line up , dremel out the holes on the tube and it will fit do each side even and dont do too much with out checking fitment or u might go too far and f%(k it up

Yes, you can change the oil feed line with the turbo on the car...... I did.

AFAIK, it's a PITA to do this, at least on a 1G, because doesn't the oil feed line bolt to the rear of the turbo?

Yeah, the stock line does. I was refering to the stainless lines that you get from SlowBoy, RRE, etc.... They come in through the front.
