Bad news...
I stated to do my turbo today. After a few painful hours of getting to old turbo out, we come to find that the hole for the oil feed line bango is to small. Anyone have any ideas.

my oil feed line comes of the block to the top of the turbo. The hole in the top of the turbo for the oil feed line bango bolt is to small, about two sizes. I could get SS lines made, but this is supose to be a "bolt on turbo".

These pics really suck b/c I took them with my phone, ... but you can get the general idea of the upgraded turbo.

the thing is, ... Hydra air doesn't have 'everything', ... meaning if it's metric, they only have 'select' items on hand.
I used them for a "custom one-off" oil line for my GSX, ... what a pain in the **** that was, ... but I made it work!

looks like it'lll be another 'let's see what we can make work' deal with this too!
