Hey guys I have a few days while my radtor is getting patch up to fix some other items I have been neglecting.

I have never been happy with my oil return setup. I tried 2 -12 an setups, and they are too pricey to look and work like they do.

The first setup I had used a 90 fitting and had a slight uphill to the front cover (top in picture). It also leaked.

My second setup I used a 90 on the turbo flange (takes up less space) and the pipe had a slight down hill. Great but the hose is so short it kinks. (bottom in the pic) It worked fine but the line is under strain all the time and will eventualy will need to be replaced. It gets wet some times, I think the fittings loosen durning heat cycling do to the strian on the line

I was think about using a unbraided Hi temp line like the Push-lock series. What have you guys use? Any issues with unbraided lines?

 

My setup is similar, but i used a 30 degree bend, i think, to make it a smooth fit. It was a bitch to make with it being so short and using such large line.

 

Clock the turbo slightly

 

Wow, that was 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. It was a good idea but one bolt on the turbo is right behind a cooling fin on my center sections. I couldn't get that ****** to budge. I would have to remove the turbo which in my car is a giant pain in my ***.

I'll probible leave it be until I get a bigger turbo. My oil liine is too close to my manifold for a unbraided line.
