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.

Could you use a different oil feed line bango from another turbo?

"This is non-subie related"

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".

Talking Pics of Upgraded RB turbo!

These pics really suck b/c I took them with my phone, ... but you can get the general idea of the upgraded turbo.
should be sweet when it finally gets on the car!

Try Hydra Air. They are located behind Byron's in the airport area. They custom made my banjo and braided lines for my 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!

I've picked up metric pieces from them.
