Stock CT26 Oil feed line

[LoveMy7MGTE]

For the life of me I can't seem to get the banjo bolt for the stock ct26 oil feed line to line up/thread in. I even tried the happy gilmore "are you too good for your home speach" but it just doesnt wanna go home. Any tips/tricks?

Loosen the oil feed from the bottom of the turbo so there is some play in the line. It is not threading in because it is hard to line the threads up just right with everything tightened down. You could also seperate the turbo from the manifold a little, that my give you enought "play" to better line up the threads.

thanks, I think I'll try loosening the turbo in the morning. How much would it cost me to go with a stainless braided setup? And is it realy worth it, or would I be better off saving towards something else, I'm completing a total half-asses getto rigged BHG repair. And before any1 jumps on the "do it right or do it twice" thing, I am gonna be doing it twice, doing a full rebuild this summer, for now I just need something to drive and dont have the cash for a full rebuild, plus its cold as hell in michigan.

I think for the stock turbo that the stock oil line is more than it will ever need.
