Turbo Oil Line Size?

[Kameo Kid]

Hello to all who may have answers to my Question. I'm forum hopping here (normal hang out: Fiero.nl ) to find out some info from you guys. I'm running a 3.4 DOHC Turbo Fiero GT and i'm having some turbo issues so i'm just double checking some details so that i can remove it from the mix..

Question: What size oil line was used on a stock Grand National to feed the turbo? and was it hard line? this would also be a sleeve bearing turbo also.

I'm running a 7/32" stainless steel braided line and was wondering if maybe it was too large and causing some oiling issues with my setup do to the fact it went through a newly rebuilt T3/T4 in under 30 miles.

thanks ahead to all that reply!!

1/8" inverted flare hard line from the block adapter to the turbo.

Many upgrade to flexible rubber or teflon lined hose about the same ID.

I doubt the line would be a problem as the restriction would be the oil housing area and inlet fitting.

well i didn't think that a 7/32" hose would be a problem, being too big but you can never have too much info. I don't think the turbo rebuilder would admit to it being their fault but we'll see what they say.

again thanks
