oil lines just use 3/16 steel brake line like i did i have 25 foot spools at work and used my flaring kit. im prtty sure napa sells pre maid stuff. and i got a 1/4" t from homedepot. was like 3 bux. i had to get a male/male adpater though since the t had all female connections. you cant beat that. what size couplers you need. i might have a coupler 2.5" in my tool box at work.
ill take that wastegate if the rod is adjustable.

i used 1/2" power steering return line hose for my return line. it takes the heat and doesnt have a pressure rating since its p/s return line. haha my old ef. i miss that bitch. just take your turbo to homedepot and start screwing in fittings till you find one that works. and have abrake line fitting with you so you can get the right fitting for that to work too.for my returb n line i also used from homedepot 1/2 brass barb fittings. homedepot really helped me

Wow, nice prices. Thanks.

Jordan, I'm going to try the brake line. The return should be stainless braided though. This thing takes a beating in the rocks.
