My turbo oil feed line to the rear turbo was really brittle on the braided nylon piece, from what I'm guessing is the heat generated in that area. It cracked while I was either installing our removing it while putting my atps in. I'm currently heading up to a hydraulic repair shop and they are going to custom fab me stainless braided lines for front and back turbos I'll update with pics when done

Sorry to hear about the feed line, good luck on the upgrade, and looking forward to pics :)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Best of luck on the fix. Actually sounds like a nice upgrade. I bet some of us around here would be interested in some of these also.

It's actually fairly simple. -4An braided line, m10 to -4 fitting into block, cut the stainless tube on the turbo install a -4 fitting there and screw the braided line of desired length in

New line?  That was quick!  Looks good, how much did it run you?

Very nice upgrade for sure.

Oughta add some well deserved piece of mind at the minimum.

Which that, in itself, is priceless.

And relatively low cost piece of mind, I'm going to change the front turbo oil feed, and my meth tank to pump lines with this as well,

Installed, was just a tad longer than I wanted but works well didn't have to bend it to sharply.
