So I have having issues with the feed line that came into my turbo kit so I made a 90 fitting with brass but my feed line runs under my exhaust manifold has any one every done it this way ? is it safe or should i heat wrap my manifold and place like a head shield on the feed line??

Side note I tied down my feed line so it would not hit the manifold

You will just be putting a lot of extra heat into your oil, before it goes into the turbo. Not a good thing.

Can you not flip the turbo 180° on the manifold, putting the compressor on the driver's side and bringing the oil feed inlet out in front of the manifold?

JGTW

I could but the way my down pipe is set up with ruin my set up ..

NVturbo

Get a longer feed line and run around into the inlet...from the front instead of underneath the manifold

JGTW

Kinda like this ?

That might help, but any way you slice it with that turbo orientation you are going to be getting close to the manifold. I might run an oil temp gauge if you are gonna roll like that.

JGTW

Awesome I will keep that in consideration

AND ALSO use a thermal sleeve..

This ^^^^^^

Another +1 for this. Best solution here (in addition to the long run-around feed line).

Is the center port on the CHRA threaded?
I'd also suggest checking to make sure that drain is 5/8 and not 1/2".

JGTW

I'm using 5/8 barb fittings for the return line, No, I have the restriction plate that the line threads into

I vote coming around from the front, tied to rad support.

JGTW

So in this case what would I use to extend the feed line
A bended brake line or another feed line I dunno what to use ;/

LightningTeg

You just need a male to male adapter to add another short line or just order a longer line in general.

Something similar to this ?

LightningTeg

yes

JGTW

what do you think about the me using the brake line for kinda like a 90 degree ?

NVturbo

That's what I'm using for my feed line. They are the same thing, braided hose line for oil/chemicals. You can get another 3AN feed line on eBay for like under $15.

JGTW

well im going to give it shot this weekend lets see how it turns out

NVturbo

They should have 3AN lines, with one straight and one 90 degree end...

I thought about getting that at first but since I do have clearance on my setup I went with a 48" straight end line.
