I want to do this with brake lines or soemthing and i was wondering how you make connections to the block and turbo and what the best way of going about this is.

Well, you'll need the hard line and a bending tool. The rest is pretty self explanitory.

go to NAPA buy the brass fittings and brake line, and install them. The fittings and line should be under $10

What i dont know is how i connect the line to lets say the turbo itself or lets say a tuner toys oil fitting. Both of these being NPT fittings do i just use like compression fittings or flare fittings? Im confused.

use a npt to femal comp/flare fitting on each of them, it shouldn't be too hard, I had a hard return line for a couple of days. make sure and take pictures and show us.

Damn that was a quick reply. Why did you only use it for a few days? I just figured that since some factory turboed cars went this was it wasnt a bad choice. Also its a hell of alot cheaper than the braided lines.

I only used it for a few days cause I went to a different turbo/manifold setup and didn't feel like making another one. I'm gonna do a feedline one of these days, I don't like having it run over my timing cover, looks cheesey that way.

Should i run the line over the tranny side or around the other side. It will be going to a td04h-15g. Its the greddy kit.

The way I did my stainless line was run it buy the cam cover but I found this nifty little bracket that I put a 10mm bolt in and bolted it to the engine mount. There is a hole there where something used to be at. It looks clean. The hardlines look stock.

Heres what I can get for you guys.
Stainless steel Braided line with straight AN 3 or 4 fittingson both ends.
Prices.
12" $9.95
18" $10.49
25" $11.49
36" $12.95
48" $14.95

this is only the line. No fittings or anything with it. I can get fittings but i don't know what you would need. Most everyting that you would need is under $12. The cheapest is $3.95. I can get hard line to. I think that I will start selling braided stainless brake line kits. That would be cool. I will do it to my car and then see what the total cost would be. I will get back to you on that.

guys I've ran hundreds of feet of brake lines, I don't like running soft lines in a hard core 4x4.. I gotta do everything heavy duty (and the truck came facotry with all that ----).

Anyways I use them on everything and I've master bending them. You will need a bending tool and some patience, you might ---- up your first line so just be patient. A pair of vice grips, c clamp, vice all will help out if u kink it.

Give it a shot and save some money, the auto parts stores have all the fittings you need for like $1 each, I actually have about 20 pounds of assorted brass fittings.
