return oil line.

that is the smallest line return ive seen. wild.

(werd) I wonder what that will do for oil pressure? Make sure to check your intake pipes periodically for oil.

just for comparison here is mine... i would never run a line that small...

I think it just looks small in the picture (those are "big" ends), I'm sure it is a -10 hose and fittings. . .so it is probably the same size as yours.

Since the turbo is fed by a -4 oil line, it is more that big enough to not cause any problems. . .don't scare the poor guy.

yeah the pics make it look tiny, but even with the same aspect ratio still looks a bit small.

terry what size hose is that?

Terry uses dash 10 lines for the return.

ok hears a dumb question ok i used teflon tape on all of my fittings oil lines are leaking a little bit like a little wet with oil what did you guys use on the threds to seal it up because mine didnt start leaking untill a few weeks after i started driving with the turboso i guess the tape is failing.

I used the Permatex Red Thread Lock

how long is that oil return line? looks perfect but i believe my return line is too long, it curves and curves and eventually ends at the oil pan...maybe thats why i smoke so much

 

[deckedoutmp5]

its prolly 13 in, its perfect but again my turbo is in a diff spot and crap. but yeah its a nice flow. peace-

You'll need a shorter line, you are correct, that is why you smoke so much.


I have an "extra" 10" line sitting in my garage.

I need to post a picture of my "replacement" line. It is basically 7" long, very short. And my smoking went away completely with it (I used to smoke a ton before).
