Oil line upgrade

[qws2000]

I want to change the oil line... I have metal line from motor to turbo and it leaks the smallest of drops ... I would like a steel braided line with a nice elbow connection... How do I find the size???

PTE recommends no more than -4an on their turbos. Several vendors have a -an line kit available

I like it more than the one from TR Customs.

This of course assumes you're talking about the feedline.

I was referring to the turbo saver setup. Where the AN line comes out a billet filter housing, up to the turbo, as well as the braided SS return line. The picture you have posted Which is way more then the opening post was asking about. Yes I have this set-up

Oh - he was talking about the drain line.
He said "metal line" - and I assumed. Duh.
I wondered - when he said it drips a tiny amount of oil.
Thinking - well that ain't good from the pressurized feed line.
Now I get it.

Again - no need to reinvent the wheel.
Several choices for the oil return drain line already.

I have "heard" that one is tougher to install than Bweavy's.
I've "heard" that while it's not as bad as the stocker, it isn't all that much fun either.
Never tried though - so it's all urban legend, like kidney thieves.

Ray, Im ordering the Turbo Saver, I want to protect this BB turbo, really more looking to protect that 2k I spent

Not urban legend, big time pain in the ass. But when all was said and done, works well and looks good, if you look hard.

The turbo saver is easy to install, the fact that you have a BB turbo, it's well worth the peace of mind. The return line (To install) is a bitch
