ok for those who dont know i have to rip out my turbo kit to pass defect notice...

now i stumbled across a few problems while taking off my turbo...
what do i do with the braided oil feed line and does anyone know where i can find a fitting to stop the oil return line in the sump. I know i can bridge the coolant hoses by adapting them together

thanks
Rob

usually people run a t-piece from the oil pressure switch, if you have your standard one, you can put that back in and then take off the tpiece and the line

or simply block off t-piece with a bolt

Where is your oil feed source coming from? The oil return.. just buy a plug to fit and clamp it.

should be just a standard 3/8 NPT fitting. Pirtek should have it.
Return, depends on what size plug u used. Mine was a -8 so easily found at Earls/Rocket industries/Motorsport connections

as stated above, just use a bolt, put plumber tape on that (be generous) and tighten it up.
if it leaks out oil then it could either be not enough plumbers tape or incorrect bolt.
