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?

Re:how well do you think this would work
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.

Re:how well do you think this would work
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.
