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!!!

QUOTE (akamiami @ Feb 9 2006, 10:56 PM) the problem I had using the hack method on the oil return was that the rubber deteriated 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. What grade of rubber were you using? I used some fuel grade rubber hose that I haven't had any issues with after many thousand miles. |
