turbo lines
Is it hard to make return and feed lines for turbochargers???..I heard of places that sells the steel braided lines but i think if i make it myself i will save alot of $$$. Has anyone done their own SS lines for their turbochargers???

Take your turbo to the speed shop and buy fittings and the right length of hose. Dont but that crappy braided hose. The russle lines are very good. The fittings run from about $8 - $18 a piece. You shouldnt need more than 6 feet of hose and 6 fittings. If you are using the turbonetics style turbo then you have to but a flange for the output side and a fitting to fit that, The input side is threaded and you can find a fitting that will work with that side. Kits = more money for **** that you can do.
