what size are the lines? i don't realy understand your question. you're using an oil filter re location kit and it came with extra lines or your going to t off of the line for it?? elabborate some.

Re:another turbocharged civic!
 

the oil relocation kit came with 2 lines 1/2 ID, yes i was thinking of putting a brass T on one of the lines to feed the turbo

Re:another turbocharged civic!
 

you could tee off of that but i would get a needle valve so you dont blow your seals.

Re:another turbocharged civic!
 

yeah, like he said, that should be fine, just install a needle valve in line on the feed so that you can restrict the flow some because 1/2" in pretty, actually really big for a feed.

or you could down-size the line ;)

Re:another turbocharged civic!
 

i dont think you would want to downsize the lines going to the oil filter :P....i would say its best to just source the oil from the back of the block

I like how you included the cup of Wawa coffee with it. (For you west siders its like a 711 but better) ;D

Re:another turbocharged civic!
