There is only one turbo oil line there, and no coolant lines. It's the supply line that is fed from a banjo fitting on the top of the front iron. The FSM Lubrication System chapter shows it clearly.

The other hard line(s) are for the PCV sytem and (on S5's) turbo boost control. The turbo's coolant lines are shown in the FSM Cooling System chapter.

Please remember to check the FSM before posting...

the oil return is the one that bolts to the front cover,, it has ss exterior lining and is flexable. the feed is the smaller thinner one that is bolted(by a banjo bolt) on the drivers side top corner of the front plate.

I got a jspec engine and some of the lines were cut. I didn't know where the lines go to. I don't know if they are emission lines or oil lines. I'll try to get a picture. They are the lines right behing the alternator. I don't even know if its a complete hardline or if it has rubber hoses lines. its complete F-ed. I would just like a pic of it so that I can have an Idea.

No, otherwise that's what I would've said. But I didn't...

I told you what the lines were. One is oil supply and one is PCV. Why are you still asking?

Both lines are clearly shown in the FSM. Lubrication system chapter page 2-2 and Fuel System chapter page 4B-5.
