How to make a AN fitting Oil return line?
I've got a S5 Turbo and a S4 front cover and I only have S5 Oil drain lines so they don't work.
I'm thinking of fabbing AN lines.
Will this work on the stock S5 turbo?

Then is it about a foot of -10AN or a different size?
I don't have an adapter plate for the front cover. Any thoughts? Would the Same fitting on the turbo linked above work on our front covers?
I was hoping I could cut it about an inch from the mouting point and tap some threads into it if there isn't an adapter plate.
Then screw in the other side of the AN line.
Also I am totally not familiar with AN stuff. Do you have to get the hose precut or can you cut it? Then how do you get the metal connector pieces on?
Thx.

I'm interested in that S4 drain line 2A+Ron. I'm trying to get the car running by the weekend or at least the engine ready to drop in and this is my main problems so far.

Yes you can cut it. Wrap it with good masking tape or duct tape where you want to cut it. Then use a jigsaw with a 24 tooth blade. You want to make sure you don't frey (sp?) the end. Then slide it all the way in the fitting and screw together... Voila! I have made many many ss lines, from -10an to -3an. If you need help, pm me.

OK I'm still doing this.
I bought 2 ft of SS line. and the connectors with
a plug which is 8AN to 3/8th's
Do you think this will work. It says it's for T3/T4's.

If it connects to my turbo then it should work on my front cover since they are the same size.
It says it is a 1/2 NPT size. I'm running 3/8th and I think 8AN so I shoudl probably get a reducer.
Any thoughts?
