I've been shopping around for new oil cooler lines and it crossed my mind. Why buy these lines for almost 200.00? Aren't they just -10 lines with the correct fittings? So, with that in mind, what size fittings do we need at the block and at the cooler? I believe the cooler attachment was done by bango bolts, but can I put a regular fitting in it's place? Lastly, is the stock regulator on a turbo a rising rate...ie 1pound boost increase fuel by 1 pound? I believe it's 35psi base. Thanks fellas.

SS oil cooler lines are only $125 from corksport last I checked.

That sucks. Was this caused by the design of the SS lines or just an isolated case?

cut your old connectiuons off and have a hydraulic hose place get the ss hose and put the connections back on.

I got mine done for $75 and they work fine.

As far a I know the stock FPR is not a RRFPR..

I think the voltage to the fuel pump gets increased to allow for more fuel... I think...if any one can correct me please do so...

The stock fuel pressure regulator is a 1:1 ratio regulator. The fuel pressure drops with vacuum, and goes up with boost in a 1:1 ratio. All turbo cars are like this - it's to maintain good atomization when spraying fuel into a pressurized manifold.
