Good oil return line material?
er... my kit came with a rubber hosey. Like.. came with a maxrev kit. 
I imagine it would be wise to upgrade it to stailess steel braided line?

Yep, stainless steel, and with the good fittings you are at ~$100.

Re: Good oil return line material? (Snafu-Si)
yes its worth it
from day 1 i had a small leak on my rubber hosed oil return line
i dont want to even get started with the headaches it costed
spend the 100$, ask questions later
as we speak im upgrading the rubber hose to a steel braided line
its totally worth the money
take it from me

1 -10AN 90 degree fitting = $25
1 -10AN 45 degree fitting = $25
1 1/2"NPT to -10AN fitting = $6
1 -10AN weld on bung =$6
1 ft of ss line = $6
That totals up to $68...expect to pay this plus or minus about $10.
Mine was about $75 shipped for everything.

Dude that is WAYWAYWAY too much to pay for that. Find an aeroquip dealer under hose and fittings in the phone book, my feed cost $35 and the return should be less. It was SS Teflon core with all the fittings. Earl's are the same **** but cost a ton more cause they're perty.

heat from your downpipe/turbo can end up burning the hose, once it happened to me once i used a heat insulation wrap on it, now im going to the earl's fittings for the return line, it may be $70, but its worth it.
