I am half way through my turbo build now and I have bought my turbo and my intercooler and am now researching oil lines. It doesn't seem like there has been many posts or questions on here about it so I figured I would make a new post.
Are you guys making your own oiling setups?
What size feed lines are you using and what size fittings? -AN?
What about drain lines?
Thanks for all your help through this project guys! I really appreciate it!
4an feed with restrictor and 10an drain as straight and as short as possible, its gravity fed soo you dont want it getting backed up in the line.

This is exactly what I am running -4 feed and -10 return. Make sure you have a restrictor on that turbo for your feed. I am running Russells braided lines for everyhting.

A lot of people run -3an feed to eliminate the need for a restrictor. I always run a rubber drain line now to save $$ on fittings/line

I am running -3 Earls feed along with the ATP -4 restrictor. Return line is -10 stainless braided.

Im not woride about the cam towers! thanks for the pictures!
Just A quick question, I want to re-do my feed line.
Are the steel braided the same as the brake lines?
Thanks
What kind of hose ends/fittings are you guys running?
I'm looking into getting my lines done, SS of course, for my coolant and oil feed/return.
I've found the correct line, but I cannot find any fittings or hose sends for me.
I'm using a t25, it uses metric for the core. M12 for oil feed, M16 for coolant feed/return and M20 or M22 for oil return.
I'd like to use earl connections.
Thanks.
