Anyone with a braided oil feed hose?

[Jan Larsson]

Anyone running the braided oil feed hose on their 86/87 or TTA?

Does it screw directly into the turbo or does it use the stock L shaped brass connector like the stock hard line fits into?

Also on the block would it be long enough to eliminate the brass T where the oil pressure switch fits? On the TTA there is no oil pressure switch so thought I'll remove the T if the braided hose is long enough and fits directly into the block or not unless there's a totaly different fitting in the block (if that is the case I could have a braided hose done I guess).

Any pictures etc would be much appreciated.

The top still goes into the brass block on the turbo. I'm not sure what you mean on the bottom. I have an aftermarket oil gauge sender where the the idiot light sender was and the oil line going right where the stock line came out. Hard to see in the pic.

The picture shows the flare fittings on each end so it's a factory type setup, brass block flare fitting output to the turbo right angle 1/8" NPT to flare adapter.

RedRegal sells them along with a remote oil filter to protect the turbo. nice!
