Red face S5 T2 Rats nest removal.. Line question.

Looking at the rats nest, I am going to take it all off, BUT i would like to seperate the oil line to the turbo and the hard fuel lines if possible... Has anyone done this? if so how did you go about it?

It appears to be a spot weld or like liquid metal (solder/jbweld style stuff...)

Bueler?

I believe there is a writeup on the rats nest removal that covers the fuel line re-routing and may be able to answer your questions. Unfortunately I don't have the thread available right here..

post #8 has some info.

This one is the 2nd gen archive info.

Hope it helps some.

Yeah I understand the process, but none of them address keeping the Hard Oil line that feeds the turbo... I can deal without the fuel lines, but the oil line needs to stay.. Why it is soldered to the rats nest, i dont know.

Just get the oil pedestal insert with the oil line feed coming off of it. I know I saw em somewhere for like $25, and it already had like 1/8" npt.

I used wheel 429 or something it is the heavy duty one. I am in the process of making a CAI hood from an old s4 hood I have. Going to use factory airbox with a intake scoop.

i would just use earls fittings and -4 line...you can also get universal kits on ebay..you'll still need the adapter for the front iron though.
