Is the turbo oil return line pressurized? The hard line that came on my j-spec has a crack in the weld. I cleaned it up really well and jb welded it for now.Should that work for the time being? Here's a picture of what i'm talking about if its not ringing a bell.



It wasnt spraying out oil so i dont think its pressurized but i'm not sure. I dont plan on keeping the jb welded one on forever in case anybody wondered. Thanks.

 

Minimal pressure since it just dumps into the front cover and it's a pretty large dia pipe. Maybe get the one you have brazed by a muffler shop??? Minimal being less than five psi. Much less.

 

I guess we'll see how it goes then with the jb weld for a few days. I'm buying one from somebody this week. I tried brazing it but coudnt get the rod and the tube the same temp for the life of me.

 

The turbo oil feed is pressurised by the oil pump but the return is just by gravity straight to the sump, so no pressure.

 

9.8m/s^2 , all depends on how steep of an incline he is going up
