ok guys... I have a nasty leak on the gasket or on the pipe that returns oil from the turbo back to the oil pan.... I am losing about 2 quarts of oil a week... with mobil 1, that gets expensive!!!
did someone here once say something about a SS line that replaces that tube??? if so where can I get one and how much was it??? was it a kit or did you have to peice it together???? what is used for fittings to the turbo and to the pan??? -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

the problem I had using the hack method on the oil return was that the rubber deteriorated quite fast causing leaking. Probably okay for a drag dsm or one that seldom sees the street, but I found that on my daily driven gsx, it just wasn't enough.
So I opted to pay FP like 80 for their line which I can't complain about. it's just another one of those things that sucks that it costs so much, but in the long run, is worth it. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food
