how well do you think this would work
 
They have steel braided hoses for houses......use it for an oil line.. It is gonna be able to hold alot of pressure and a good amount of heat... and its about 1/3 the cost......i think imma try it anyone else using this or heard anything on it?

Do you mean for like undersink plumbing?? I would think it would work, but you would have to use extra connections to tie it together. Also, it might be too big. Your turbo doesn't need a huge oil line for its supply. -3 oil line would be ideal. If you give your turbo too much oil, it could cause you problems.

yes.. its steel braided undersink lines... they come in 3/8 and 1/2 i was gonna go witht the 3/8.... the thing im worried about is it not being able to take the heat... i mean how hot does oil get in the line?

Bad idea, we thought of that, but the rubber line that hose sinks use isnt designed for chemicals. Oil's have additives/detergents that will easily break down that rubber hose in a matter of time.

Tranny line will work just fine.
