S4 turbo stock oil supply lines not lining up, way off!
Please help shed some light on what's going on here. I am installing my BNR stage 1 and I am using what I thought were the stock oil supply lines. As you can see, they are WAY OFF lining up. Which is the bad line? Are they both bad?

The hardline coming from the front iron seems to be too short... But then again, the hardline on the turbo may have been bent back too far. Where did you get them from?
I use this without any issues... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Turbo-Oil-Fe...#ht_1425wt_689

^This is all what I'm thinking.
I had the old greddy kit on the car, and it had a flex line coming from the main feed to the turbo
I had bought the stock turbo cheap a while back because I was going to have it rebuilt. I also sourced some lines. Looks like they are fubar. I looked at various pics and by comparison, both of my lines are off. It's subtle, but obviously there.
dwb87, I JUST found that while searching. The feedback looks good, but the "FD3S engine" made me weary...

Just to let you know, I noticed the same thing before I had purchased it. I made very sure that when I received it, the banjo bolt fit into my S4 TII front iron. The only thing that I modified was the oil inlet that bolts to the turbo. I drilled out the dinky little hole a bit more.

^ Nice. I was part of one of those debates before. When I had my BNR stage 4, I had to use an in-line restrictor. I now have a stock S5 turbo. (Don't ask why...) - For this turbo, I won't need any restriction. I have an extra undrilled oil inlet anyway.
