Oil return line? For T04B turbo?

Where can I get a prebuilt oil return line to fit to my HKS manifold, To4B-60-1 .96A/R turbo to a 1988 Turbo blocK?

I'm more concerned about the connections to the turbo and block.


Thanks,

You can always make you own, as I did, but its a real pain in the ***. I am also running a hks manifold with to4b turbo, and i got 2 to4 return flanges, 1 45 degree -10 to I believe 1/2 npt, or whatever your flange is tapped for, 1 straight-10 to npt fitting, 2 hose ends and some -10 braided hose. Piece it all together and you got yourself return line. It will be a tight fit but it works, as the factory return line on the block uses the same flange design as the to4, just dont forget the gaskets and use teflon tape on the fittings. and be sure the line goes straight, or on a downward angle, to the block, or you will have draining issues. If you go this route, good luck.

I have a line made up but is on a 90° fitting and also straight to the block. No slope. Anyhow the line does not seem to have drainage issues because when I took the line off there was no oil meaning the line is doing its job. I think I will stay with my current set-up.

Thanks for replying.
