Turbo oil return line

Ok I have a 88 turbo 2 and I need to replace my oil return line that bolts on the top of the turbo so I figure its time to put a stainless one on there and http://www.himni-racing.com has stainless lines but all them state that there for the feed but they state there a kit so does it come with the feed and return line or just the feed can anyone who might have bought them help me?

The line that attaches to the top of a turbocharger is the oil FEED, not oil RETURN. The return is at the bottom.

No it will not work without modification. I ditched the stock turbo a long time ago but with my current setup, the oil return line is way bigger.

You'll probably need to make your own. The bottome of the turbo should have a flange and you will need the appropriate an fitting to go on it, depending on your manifold design, roughly 6" to 1' of line (braided as it sounds like you want? Another an fitting and lastly another turbo flange that you will need to seal to your engine block
