G-body Oil Return Line???

[HIGH_ON_BOOST]

I just finished installing the G-body steel braided oil return line on my GN, and it seems to have a a kink in the middle of the hose. I was woundering if any one who has the same part has the same kink?

The one from GBodyparts.com ??? I have that one on my car..No kinks...Took a lil doing to get it set the way I wanted. I also changed the bolts to studs/nuts on my turbo to make cinching it up a bit easier

Whatever you do, you need to get that kink out of the line, before you start running the stew out of it.
It can cause the oil to back up in the turbo and cause premature oil seal failures. You have to do some finagling with the braided return lines to get the king out of the braid.
That was the one thing that I used to tell customers all the time about the braided return lines. No kinks.

well...its not so much a kink as it is a slight pinch. instead of the line having a gental curve it is bent about mid-way. maybe you guys can post pix of your oil lines so i can get a better idea of how its suppost to look like.
