This stuff is really easy to work with and install, I'd recommend it. It's supposed to hold up as good as braided anyways. http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant..._Code=ATP-OIL1

yes, the flange mounting holes need to be widened outwards a bit in order to bolt up to the block. Pretty much all drain flanges are the same dimension.
Again, I'd suggest going with the flexible 5/8" hose I lined at th top, it's much easier to work with and cheaper than SS. Does the same job...

This flange fits perfectly on the block it was made for out kits.

If you have no OMP this one works even better, for either the front of the block or the bottom of a 35R CHRA as it is narrower than the standard gasket matched ATP flanges. It is also angled to keep it away further away from the front cover bolt as well as the the turbine housing on the 35R's.

Hope that helps.

Look at the bottom of the turbo and see wether its the smaller GT35R style drain or engine block or if it is the larger style drain such as this one.....
http://www.a-spectuning.com/store/in...products_id=57
Yes that is the correct one if you have the OMP.

What size oil feed should I use? I have a -4an line on my T4 PT67 journal bearing and It blown the seals out of the turbo. Should I go to a -3? I have 10 an drains on it. Im no longer running an omp.

Manny: Is the original hard-line that comes from your turbo curved??? I WANT THAT! Where can i get one for a GT35r?
I'm currently having an issue with my oil drain fitting; it is very short and it is straight. So the return line actually touches the manifold/turbo flange. Even with heat shielding it gets toasted after about 1500 miles.

"Elusive, not deceptive!”
I adapted the TII oil drain line to the REW flange.
The front case can be opened to 3/4".
It uses a bellows to allow for slight expansion/misalignment.

52mm mean you will need the larger one yes. If you're talking about the braided lines we use yes, if you're talking about the standard aeroquip stuff you will want to get a length of thermal sleeving to cover it. Straight fitting tend to sit close to the manifold and will dry out the rubber of the hose.
