Have you had this problem before...we have been running brake line on one of our setups for about 4 years same line and never have had a problem...i suppose it might someday...
do you know if they make a restrictor for my brake line...i am still wondering what i should do...i still have a couple of days to think about it until i get my turbo in the mail

If your're worried about steel brake line cracking, just anneal it (heat up almost red-hot, then let cool slowly, repeat 2x).

BTW if any of you pussies are worried about it cloging, you have bigger issues. You should be using post-filtered oil (using the right oil sandwhich adapter or the stock sender hole), and if there is a 1/16" or larger chunk of ---- in that filtered oil, you're bearings will be going bye-bye soon.
