Re: brake hard lines for turbo oil?
Ive used a hard oil line on my turbo for about 2 years now, works really well. The block fitting is a tunertoys. Flared it my self and used 1/4 fittings.
The return line i use is heater hose, its really-really ghetto but works.

I used the hard break line on my trofeo, it worked well and never leaked and was the cleanest part of my setup. The ------- return line did though (it was not a hard line, but shitty hose, should have known)

Re: brake hard lines for turbo oil?
wonder if you could use one of these? would be perfect cuz it has a 1/8th NPT fitting on it, you could just throw a T in the line and put it right on the T instead of having a shady *** nylon line remote mounting it...

around $20 is all
the trick is taking the banjo bolt peice of your turbos stock feedline match the line size with that at napa and connect them with a compression fitting. take your oil sending unit with you to to make sure your buying the right thread and size on your T fitting off the back of the block and grab little fitting that has the right thread to into your T fitting on one side and a compression fitting on the other, the will connect the brakeline to the T off the back of the block then run the hardline to the turbo and connect it to the compression fitting coming off the turbo feedline.
and thread your sending unit into the open hole in the T and your done.
