Turbo oil lines

[sy2185]

Mine leaks and the trans is out- remember hearing AR offered a stainless line with -AN fittings that fed from a new location- possibly at the remote filter. Anyone know about this? Is that the right location? Tried AR by phone a few times, no answer(everybody's busy incl. me). I can do the hose myself no prob. if the kit costs much more than the hose and fittings itself, unless there's some kind of special adapter used other than the standard tube - AN adapter. Any info guys?

not sure if i ever listed a price on the turbo feed hose. But the stock location is the back of the block down by the stock oil filter location. The spot off the oil filter is an attempt to filter fresh oil going to the turbo. Basically all you need is some braided line, a few AN fittings and some AN-NPT adaptors. nothing really special if you can do it yourself. Most of my factory replacement lines come with Teflon coated Goodrich lines coupled with hydro pressed fittings, which require a special machine to assemble.

E-mail me with a price if it's available, or what's a good time to call tue. during the day?

Best time to call is anytime and leave a message. As most people who leave messages find out, I do call back!

But honestly I am in and out alot, and the best way to reach me is by email or by calling. 6-9pm PSt is usually when I have time to BS and chat with customers.

I would assemble the turbo feed line to the oil filter and include all the necessary fittings for $55.

For those running garret turbos, I can build braided return lines which screw into the turbo drain and into the stock pan. No hose clamps! Price on those would be $85. Fire proof sleeving would be optional.

What would be the diameter of the return line? Also wondering how flexible it would be to work around tranny lines, motor mount, whatever else is in the way down there?

Thanks.

I would use -10. The hose itself is pretty flexible, but the way I assmeble the hose makes it stay away from everything. I get the right angle by using a 45 off the turbo, etc.

I'll take one!

Looks like it's my return line from the turbo that's leaking, except I've got a stock turbo. I guess I could use one of those male AN to tubing adapters after cutting the stock line near the flange. Sound ok? For the feed line do you come off the plugged port on the filter adapter(on the top pass. side, near "HOT" warning)? Or is it inline w/the oil cooler?
Thanks.

Ive been doing em just on the plugged port.
