oil inlet pipe?

In installing a new stock turbo, my turbo inlet pipe got bent slightly, which punctured it, so when i started the car up it squirted oil. so i have tryed various parts stores, websites, and mazda for the oil inlet pipe, but i cant seem to find one anywhere. does anyone know where to get either a stock turbo inlet pipe, or the fittings to install a steel braided line in its place?

It's a Mazda only piece.

You can use braided line fairly easily. The thread pitch of the banjo bolt on the front iron can be found in the thread pitch article in the archives. Get the appropriate AN adapter and make up your line using either -6 or -4. To connect to the turbo, you will need to tap out the feed hole in the center section or get a flange (from somewhere like ATP Turbo).
