ok the turbo kit i bought came with fuel injection fuel lines for oil feed line, so far its been working ok but will i run into any issues with the temp. of teh oil melting the hose?

 

Really depends on the fuel line, like some of the high pressure VW lines can hold the heat and what not. But I used some generic auto store fuel pressure line, and the ****** burst on me. You may want to upgrade to Tranny cooler line, which is rated at 320psi, and can withstand the heat. NAPA sells it, or just get some steel-braided line.

I'm using "fuel lines" without a problem, but make sure to get the right size fitting etc. to connect them to. I used a razor to "help" the fuel line fit the fitting that came out of the turbo ( which was a little too big for the fuel line I used ) and the damn thing burst right where the hose clamp was on the turbo. It looked like I struck oil.

 

I didn't see any references to your sponsor. ha ha

 

I ran normal 1/4" fuel line to feed oil on a supercharger on my toyota pickup for over 10 years and 200K mi. And, I used heater hose for the return.

But you can't use normal barbed fittings... the hose may blow off. You can buy high pressure barb fittings from a hydrolic shoppe that are as cheap as normal barb fittings. The way you can ID them is that they normaly have a plastic disc on them as a hose stop.
