Re: oil feed
I'd definatly not recommend fuel line, I tried along time ago and it ended up bursting and made a huge *** mess, I even thought it was a fluke and tried again and it blew up again. So trust me, it maybe rated for enough pressure but it just doesnt work, especially over time.
However, I have found that "weatherhead" hose from Napa works excellent, its not to spendy, its rated at 350psi, comes in perfect sizes 5/16 or 1/4. It has worked on many of our setups for long periods of time. I cant remember the exact price, but something like 4 or 5 bucks a foot.

Re: oil feed
yup, but you will need to get the factory banjo bolt & fitting. I usually leave about 4-5 inches on the stock pipe, then cut it and bend it the way I want. I then slide the hose over the pipe and put 2 hose clamps on it.
Heres a pic to give you an idea. Sometimes when you buy the turbo from the junkyard you can score the banjo/fittnig/pipe... Otherwise I think you will need to go to the dealer to buy it, which then it would be a rip off and cost to much. There really isnt a ------ way of doing it. I tried along time ago to force a brass fitting in there but it always leaked, mainly because the threads in the turbo are metric. Maybe you can score a cheap adater then go to a brass nipple.
