Re: brake hard lines for turbo oil?
 

And above all, don't forget to support the hard lines with some metal strapping or brackets! With the vibration from the engine you could cause the brass fittings to break, especially on the " t " fitting at the back of the block!

/\ iunno mine isn't really supported by anything other than vibrating against the drivers side passenger mount and it seems to be still working. cheeeeaaap.... you just need some brake line, flare fittings and a flare tool to make it work. I bent the line using my hands.

are we forgetting here that stock turbo cars use hard lines for their turbo feed lines also? so i say, why not for custom! :y

Re: brake hard lines for turbo oil?
 

Yes brake line looks good when done right. Plus once its bent up and fitted, remove it and give it a good scrubbing with a scotch brite pad, gives it a nice satin look. Thats what we do on our fuel lines. Ill be doing hard lines on mine. :y

Me to, squeeze the hard line untill I get the pressure I want. Free oil restrictor. All I ever have used for feed is brake line.

You dont need a bending tool, just bend the line over any thing that is round, it will hold the shape and look great.

Dang, I wish I would have known about this. Hardline is way cheaper than braided and easy enough to work with.

I will definately use hard line on my next setup for sure.
