Im not sure what you mean? I bought a feed line from flamenco-T and I purchased 2.5ft of return line seperately and cut it to fit. Got the fittings from T too. Just order them man I paid like 50bucks total for my steel braided lines and fittings.

 

Or you can buy some 1/4" i.d. fuel line from ace for ~$1.00 per foot and the necessary barbed fittings for the turbo, and some larger hose and a nipple for the return. Make sure the clamps are tight.

Of course you can go to atpturbo or something like that and pay 50-100 for some braided stainless lines and nice fittings, but if you know what you're doing I don't think it's necessary. Considering you're putting a t25 on a d series, I don't imagine you have an unlimited budget.

 

Why not just go to Earl's and buy a length of braided line, and assemble them using their hose-ends?

Costs about $20 for the feed, and $25 for a -10AN drain (SS braided) with leftover hoses too. Or to avoid the trouble, get the lines from flamenco-T

The cheapest way is to hit your local industrial fluid connnections warehouse and get them to make you some lines with machine-crimped ends. I once had them made me a 5ft 1/4" ID high pressure hose meant for power steering with crimped ends and only cost about $10 to get it done.

 

correct i have no money. this is too complicated i might as well just order lines from flamenco-T or eBay or something. i was thinking maybe use the stock dsm things and just add tubing. i can use the oil return from the dsm, and i think the oil feed.
