Opinion on ESP Oil Return Line

[Outpost]

The turbo oil return line has developed a leak on my car and needs to be replaced. Has anyone used the braided steel replacement made by Eastern Performance? I've had good success with their braided oil cooler lines and am considering using their return line as well. I thought I remember hearing a while ago that the ESP line is too long and difficult to install. If that's the case I'll just get a stock replacement.

It is difficult to install but really not THAT bad. If you remove the radiator hose and some other stuff in the way then you can fit a big open ended wrench on the thing. The braided line that I got screwed right into the block, so you had to remove the brass peice that the stock line screwed into. I can't remeber the sizes of the wrenches you will need off hand but I can post them later (they are big like over 1 inch).

I have the ESP also and it touches my ATR headers. If I had it to do over I would try a PTE line or have one made.

I agree with the posts that say it is kinda hard to install. But, it will be the last one you install. I found that the hard part was the block end. good product. Jace
