Tubing

At discount they have tubing by the foot. It says its for fuel line I ask the guys behind the counter if it can be used for oil ines I get deer in headlights. Can this be used for oil lines if not where can I go to buy it.

No. I wouldn't.

It could explode at any moment. Plus, if the oil gets too hot, it can damage the rubber.

I think Jeff has successfully used it, but.. Jeff is God of Homemade Turbos, and they respect him.

They'll hate everyone else.

Re:Tubing

For the coolant line, it'll work fine.

As for the oil lines, personally, I used stainless steel braided line. Depends on the money you want to spend on it.

There is a reply in this post that tells you what all you'd need to put together your stainless steel braided line.

Re:Tubing

I wouldnt use fuel pressure line for oil feed, Go to Napa and ask for their high pressure tranny line, its rated at like 350psi. That is what we use on 90% of our setups.
