oil feed line/brake line?-JSmanufacturing

[ryanclem74]

I ordered a turbo oil feed line and was sent a braided brake line with a small inside diameter. I was wondering if anyone knew if it is safe to use this setup or should I try something else with a bigger id. Also I have an intercooler kit from JS manufacturing and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these?

You have a Hot Air car?? If so, I just used a 1/4" steel brake line to replace my oil feed line. Should be enough oil for what the turbo needs. Not sure what the IC cars use though. HTH ---Keith

it pays to poke around on the big car chain websites from time to time- it's amazing how much stuff they still sell for these cars.
why pay the markup at a specialty place when you can get it locally? and the parts probably come from the same supplier, anyways.

they also have the brackets and wiring adapters to put in a later model ignition setup, reman and brand new turbos, "HP" fuel pumps, and a whole slew of other "unavailable" parts.
