It's a standard T4 cartrige so you can buy the feed line from kgparts.com and it will work.

You don't need to take the turbo off man. Simply buy the oil feed line that Keith sells on his site. It's like $50 shipped.

Your friend who makes lines must have a 1/8" NPT fitting around somewhere, ask him if you can borrow one and test fit it. I'm almost 100% positive it will fit.

Cool

Why don't you spend a few bucks on some tools and find out for yourself?

the line i got is pretty badass, he put the stock reverse flare off the line running to the stockers and braised it onto a stainless steel line, crimped ends, its pretty much indestructable. ill post pics soon enough.
