My oil return line for my turbo is a standard rubby hosey that I was told is okay but I notice that a lot of people run Stainless Steel briaded for their oil return line.

I was wondering if it is substantially better to do that or if it is just more of a "bling bling" thing with that.

I mean, I know that SS lines are better for most cases but in this case for a turbo oil, is it a DEFINITE thing to swap with or just something people get cause... it's more bling.

 

The Stainless Stell Braided line is to protect the line from the downpipe and the extra heat. It gives it some strength also. A standard rubber hose or silicone hose will eventually fail.

 

Okay, then I'm leaning towards getting a ss line for it then.

 

Get fittings for the turbo and where you tapped the oil pan too. It's just easier and looks much cleaner. Measure how much you want the line to be, as short as possible, and have it cut for you and then when you go to put it on, all you do is twist. Don't mess with doing it yourself. Unless you got steady hands and can cut the line clean.
