Turbo oil feed line

Tried to search but no results. Wanted to know if anyone has tried the oil feed lines on ebay for about $32-33 shipped or so. I'd get the Rein return line for $40 shipped as well. Yeah I know, I'm a cheap bastard.

Considering what's at stake, I'd go ahead and spend more bucks for the Detroit Tuned return line. One and done..

So, I guess that means you don't have any experience with the ebay feed lines.

With the amount of work it takes to change them out, it's not worth the few bucks you Might save. Detroit Tuned kit with the replacement "O" rings for the oil filter assembly is the only way to go IMO.

Aww man, there you go and spoil a good dogmatic thread with your pragmatism. I've already ordered the Kinugawa one as I know they make good stuff. Kinugawa is a brand of Kamak turbochargers out of Taiwan. Used some Kamak turbos with great results when I was big into Subarus a decade ago.

Since it's so much work to do I would use our stainless line kit
https://www.waymotorworks.com/wmw-st...-line-kit.html

But we do offer a stock replacement one that is cost effective and we do offer a year warranty on it
