Hello,

I am putting in the S5 Stock turbo in to my car for smog and I notice that I am missing a part.

where the turbo Oil line meets the car's (directly behind the sway bars near the OMP)
I am missing the triangluar to oval flange/line (don't know if i am making sense as this part is really rare...)

Do anyone have the picture of the part i am talking about? and have opinions on what i should do? (fab a pipe? cut the stock flange off and use a rubber hose?)

if anyone have that spare part lying around, it would be great,

cuz i need it before September for my smog

Thanks

 

Should I cut it like the pictures below (with the red circles)?
would that be too hot if i run a rubber hose to it?

the oil return/drain line (thanks for the info iceblue)

 

Oil return line. You just need a pipe on ones I fab for S5 turbos on S4 cars I cut the flange and weld the pipe in the angles I want then use silicone hose to join them together.

 

I wouldn't use silicone.

SIlicone deteriorates rapidly under exposure to petroluem + heat.

so just normla heater hose or threaded fuel line?

also should i bend the metal pipe or should I just cut it and run a rubber hose intead? any drawbacks to either? (metal pipe more heat resistant etc etc?)

cuz i notice the oil reutrn line from my Greddy TD is also just a rubber hose...

 

Heater hose is going to fail within a month.
Don't ask me how I know this. :P

I would get in touch with a local hydraulic hose shop and ask them for their advice.
These kinds of businesses have hose designed for this kinda application.

I go to floridahose and tell them what I am doing then they give me a hose :-) Basicly you say oil capable hose and they hand you one :-) Cost is 20$

 

*If* you decide to run silicone line (which you can do) use the best of the best stuff from ATP....5/8 oil drain hose...

Stinks like @$$ but works great....

 

You talking about this one?

That'd be it.

Only thing I did as a precaution was to wrap a little bit of exhaust wrap around the portion of the hose that's close to the exhaust manifold.

Holding up great for me, and I prefer it to stainless there since it won't rub the lower rad hose.....edit: on a large single that is

 

Tha stuff really looks like the push-on type hose.
Summit sells their -10 size for $35 for a 10 foot length?
Cheaper than $8 / foot!

Group buy anyone?

great everyone, thanks for the advice, i'll figure out what to do with the flange first and find the hose for it next week

that group by sounds interesting...

 

Just to give you idea of what I was talking about...

I've got a stock oil return line laying around. $30 to your door?

PM Me.

It has a flange on both ends.
