ummm damn it dude.

You made me search to see what turbo you have :p

Is this for the freak of nature turbo. If so. i don't know. I know ATPTURBO sells stuff for the t3/t4 turbos.

Jake, a realy easy way to do it is cut the stock return with enough space to get a hose over it. The return isn't under pressure, so it's not super critical. That's how I did mine.

That's rigged Bobby... And its leaking like that... So I was thinking of cleaning it all up now that I have it apart...

Im doing *pause for dramatic effect* THINGS Bobby :evil2: :evil2: :evil2: Things to make these local car goobs think twice about talking shit about our cars! Especially little yellow neon goons who think they own the street! You know who I speak of...

I feel you on that. I think I'm upgrading too, just gotta wait to get an email or two back and see how the transaction will go. I'm not gonna let you outrun me.

I used a stock ct-26 oil line, cut the flange off, faced the surface and welded on a -10an fitting to the flange.

Straight re-usable swivel -10an fitting, -10an SS braided teflon hose, 45* re-usable swivel -10an fitting and then a -10an to 1/2" NPT adaptor to thread onto the garrett return flange.

Fittings in that size cost alot.

Just go to a speciatly hydraulic/plumbing shop.
