Default has any body ever used tranny oil cooler lines for turbo oil feed lines

just wondering if any body has tried using this cheap alternative, the say they can hold high psi and im guessing heat too since they are meant for trannsmisions. but they dont have the steel braided bling bling stuff that others use. just asking because ive searched and cant find anything. the lines have already been on the car for one day and seem to be running fine, but if anybody has used them chime in and tell me you exp, thanks

steel braided lines are cheap, and oil gets alot hotter than tranny fluid, its not worth blowin up a rubber line.

hopefully someone else has used them because if i change them to steel braided i have to change all of the nipples from the block and turbo, and i dont want to do that

Terrible idea. You want the lines to be contrictive such that they drop most of the oil pressure before it gets to the turbo. This actually puts a pretty large strain on the lines.

Your lines are either going to leak, or the turbo seals are going to blow almost immediately.

i know thats why i got i a restriction valve from stealth mode and a gauge in between the turbo and the valve set at 5 psi so i dont blow my seals
