Re: Lets talk oil return lines
you guys have an oil filter service or hyd line factory near by? i have a bad *** feedline and return line all made of steel braided teflon hose. the return uses steel aeroquip fittings and are crimped on a hose making press. there's a place in portland oregon called oil filter service that custom makes this ****, brake lines, pressure washer lines, you name it, and CHEAP. my feed line was like $30 and my return line $35, that's custom made 1/2" npt ready to go. not chinese crap. you guys could mail order from them and still have better lines for less. my thoughts were. why chance ebay crap when the place that makes lines for dump trucks is a 15 min drive from me

Re: Lets talk oil return lines
One of the low profile 1pc fittings and the compact earls fitting should give you enough room but just in case you don't wanna spend another $70 on fittings.
You can buy those weld in bungs on ebay all day long for around $5. It's what I used for my catch can set up I had on my turbo ls. Way cheaper then An fitting and lines but still serves the same purpose. Also can pick them up from Summit or Earls.

Re: Lets talk oil return lines
Right now I'm thinking two of these at $11 a piece shipped.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360386132636...84.m1438.l2649
I put one on the bottom of the turbo and the other I'll grind off the tabs on the side till it's just a bung and weld into the oil pan. Then I can just get a couple barbed fittings from Lowes with some clamps and some automotive quality hose from the local autoparts store and I should be good to go for around $30 ~ $35. The AN solution is visually more appealing but at $85 I'll call it plan B for right now

Just go to ebay and type in weld in npt bung. Bring up plenty to look at. You'll see some of them for sale are by Jegg's and Summit so you can just call and give the part # or whatever.

Re: Lets talk oil return lines
I got the fitting for the bottom of the turbo and the bung for the oil pan ordered. I picked up two brass 1/2" NTP 5/8" barbed fittings too at the local hardware store.
Stopped at my local autoparts store to get some 5/8" rubber hose but all they had was heater hose. I know from experience that heater hose deteriorates in oil and swells up and breaks down. I'm going to have to keep searching for a piece of hose.
