Which oil line kit to choose?
I need some folks to shoot some advice my way regarding the myriad oil line kits available on the market: EDIT: PRICES POSTED
-- The Stealthmodeperformance.com Kit-- (seems to be most popular) $85 shipped
-- The cheapturbolines.com Kit -- (has nice push fittings/no welding necessary on pan) $78+shipping
-- The Fast-Turbo.com Kit -- (-An fittings look cool, but most $ of the three) $109 shipped
If there are other, better options out there, please bring them to my attention. I would, however, like some honest, experienced feedback regarding these three kits.

That's what I'm going for. Anyone have problems with the other two kits, and does the Fast-turbo kit come with the option of steel or aluminum pan tap?
I have heard horror stories of fittings on the block breaking, as well. Fast-turbo sells a sandwich filter adapter. Anyone have experience with this? Is this a viable alternative to block fittings?

Re: (Wilky)
i myself have never broke a block fitting. I Believe its just user error as for as overtightening those things in the block. another option would be to mount it to the firewall. stealthmode also sells firewall kits

Re: (Wilky)
i also like the AN fittings with the fast-turbo kit. stan can get you anything you want...steel, aluminum, angles, whatever, im sure he wouldnt be opposed to doing a custom type kit if you need something other than pictured.
that exact kit is what i use on my log mani setup, and the good thing is u can cut the return line to fit your needs. also i like the 45* off the turbo and 45* into the pan. seems like the best way to route things.

Re: Which oil line kit to choose? (Wilky)
The only thing that concerns me about the other kits is the return line. 1 they are straight fittings, and 2- the way they attach to the braided lines. Does any one care to add some info or experience to this. I would like to see peoples experieces on the kits. I personally like the fasturbo one just because of the 45% angled fittings, but for the price the stealthmode one looks very good and tons of people here use them.

very true, i figure most of us end up using a firewall setup anyways so all the t's and whatnot arent necessary.

like i mentioned before i have the fast-turbo lines, they have worked flawlessly. IMO hose ends > barbs and clamps.

the only reason one should worry about the straight fittings is if their turbo sits extremely low. I do speak from experience, i just used one 2 weeks ago
. In the end its really up to the person buy it. If you want the baller -an fittings then get the fast-turbo kit. if you want to buy the kit take it home and install buy the stealthmode kit. And as i said before with the fast/cheap-turbo kits you still have to buy the bolts for the return flange. Well one can only ASSume since its not pictured.

Does Fast-Turbo offer a firewall kit?

My mission has always been to have a 100% functional, easy to install, affordable oil line kit. When I first started, I had the AN fittings on my drain line, but what I found is that
1) They add extra expense to the kit that most don't want to pay for
2) They are a very tight fit on the hose, which makes them very hard to install for my average customer.
The solution was to add the barbs and clamps. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and just as much function as anything else. I know Fast-Turbo has a very nice kit and many happy customers. I look at it like Coke and Pepsi.
