homemade oil line?
 

alright,I gotta thought,
will one of them oil pressure gauge hoses work for a turbo feed?
(them hard plastic like hoses with adapters at autozone)

I mean,its small enough to act as a restrictor & all I would really need is just adapters to adapt to the turbo..

any input?

Probably work. But you would probably have to route it so it wouldn't get too hot. They are pretty fragile. I dont think i would ever rock one, some stuff you shouldn't go too cheap on.

Just get some braided steel brake line and some an to npt adapters and make yourself an oil restrictor. Theres a sticky about making them somewhere around here.

yea...i need to do somthin & I might go with the oil pressure line,
because,I dont see myslef spending 100$ on some oil lines to see weather they fit my turbo or not,
I have a td04h 13c

oil pressure lines I might go with,

fantastic and cheap way

Wow, I got my 48" -3an lines 'made' for under $16 each. They have the -3an female flare ends in brass, and the line is braided stainless with teflon liner. Mcmastercar.com You can be baller and spend more for stainless ends IIRC, but brass ftw. In fact, I could undercut stealthmode by half while offer better drain lines and supply line fittings (brass vs rustable plated steel). But I don't have his credibility, I'm just some street nig-nog.

BTW I get them in under 48 hours, since I'm a stone's throw from their 'Ill-noise' location. :y

your walking on dangerous OG grounds with a comment like that

I'm going to rock 1/8 NPT Brass fittings with hose barbs, and some Summit racing twist tite hose. like the areoquip stuff but a little cheaper. I threw in a 1/8NPT ballvalve for an adjustable restrictor too, the whole setup cost me around $35. $45 with my Wal-Mart Eqquis oil pressure gauge which actually comes with a BSPT to 1/8NPT block fitting!!!

McMaster lines for me. Cheap and effective.
