Hey guys, I am just finishing up my turbo install and the only part left is my stupid return line.

I have the ss line that came with the stealthmode kit but I only need about 4-5 inches long and I need it to do this shape:

As you know those lines are not very flexible so I just can't get it to bend the way I need it to.

Could I use any other type of hose that would offer more flexibility and doesn't need to be purchased at a specialty store?

Please note that the hose would be close to the downpipe and the fitting going into the pan almost touches the DP. The line itself does not come into contact with the DP though.

thx for the help!

Yes you can run any high temp hose. I would also recommend some sort of heat shielding hose wrap. You should be able to get these parts at any automotive store. Are you using AN fittings or just barbed fittings and hoes clamps?

 

barb fittings and hose clamps

 

So i am guessing it came with braided line then? Do you know what size it is?

 

yes the kit came with a braided line 5/8 inside diameter and the fittings have 1/2 inch ends to go into the pan and into the turbo

 

I might have some high temp line at my house I don't need. It's probably faster for you to get in from an auto parts store though. Just make sure you get some thick stuff that can withstand heat. Like radiator hose...

 

Ill get some hose like that from NAPA tonight and I bought a fire resistant sleeve to go around it. It reflects heat up to 2000F so hopefully this all works

 

Sounds like your all set
