oil return from turbo

Postby deaf_rattle » Fri Jan 08, 2010 12:06 pm

well i was looking at what to do today for my oil return.
I think its going to be too close to the exhaust manifold and i might have to get a hard line made up.

Is there any high temp hose solution for this? or is hard line the way to go?

cheers

extend the oil return with some tube, weld to the flange - or tack weld it and use kneedit to seal if u dont want to possibly warp the flange

You can do it in soft line but would need to use the heat sleeve that goes over it. Not the fire sleeve which is orange. Heat one is grey.
