options for oil and water lines.

hey guys.
Just got my TD61 from Turblown. Now I have all my parts to install my single swap, except oil feed and drain, and water lines.
Ive been searching the internet, and found a few things, but Im just curious as to what you all have found for lines.
I would like to get everything as a kit, as it would make install quite a bit easier (plus, I dont know what AN sizes to use for things, Im actually going to go read up on that as soon as I post this)
I have talked to Turblown about this as well. They (He actually, I believe its just Elliot) has a really nice option for hard lines. He has pictures of this in his gallery on his website. The upside is that they look very nice, and appear to have very few failure points. The only downside is the price is a bit higher. around $450 is what he told me, and I dont know if that includes shipping or any other "unexpected" costs.
The other thing I found, is I emailed himni-racing, and they claim to offer a "complete" kit, for $180ish plus shipping. I dont know how "complete" it is, and they have been very slow with email response, so I question their reliability.
Im curious if anyone else has found any good options. please share if you have. thanks!

I will be using -4AN for oil feed and -10AN for oil drain. You can find T4 oil feed/drain AN adapters on Ebay pretty easily.

Is this going on an FC or an FD?

Should be a fun turbo.

What turbine housing did you go with?

I have something quite similar (62-1).

I use custom hose in CR for fittins.

For the coolant i use push lock fittings (aero equip hoses).

For the oil feed i use a stock T2 line.

The Oil drain is what caused me so much trouble b/c my turbo sits so low.

But I got it all to work out.
