anybody running a homemade turbo?
i'm setting mine up with a mits. 13b instead of that K-03.
im really stuck with setting up the oil and water lines... i have the oil feed and water feed banjos but i dont know how i'm gonna connect the oil banjo to a steel braided line. anyone know where i can pick up a -3an oil feed line with the mitsubishi flange? and whether the 14b pieces will fit on the 13b?
also i was wondering if i could chop the throttle body coolant lines and run them into the turbo instead. it would cool my turbo whiile lowering my intake temps i guess.

I'm running a td04 off a wrx and I just took out those banjo fittings and cross threaded a aluminum fitting in there and it doesn't leak. If you still want to use those banjo fittings you can get a barded fitting with an -3an on the other side. they sell them at summit racing.

thanks man, i think i found the right banjo- -3AN adaptor for the oil feed at summit.
on the water outlet line on your TD04, is it another banjo or does it screw straight in? if you have a banjo fitting, cant you just find something that fits like an NPT with the correct thread pitch and diameter instead of using those stupid banjos?

i'm running the same turbo-i love it! i'm using the stock banjo's with the exception of the feed. i got a earls -an banjo and a barb that threads on and i'm using sae 30r9 line for the oil feed.

Re: (ross1459)
For the water coolant lines I had the metal lines that came off of the turbo so I just used some regular coolant line and ran it off a 1st gen b16a oil cooler. It works great. But see if you can get the hard line for the banjo's and cut them like 5-6 inchs off from the banjo and run coolant lines with a hose clamp.
