Default turbo oil feed and return line?

Quick question, which oil feed and return lines should I use for a stock b16a turbo set up with around 6 psi of boost. Will the ebay ones work since its not high boost or is there somewhere else I should get them?

there was just a thread where the some guys 15.00 ebay fittings failed.

proper plumbing seeing up to 80 psi needs to be done right..

ok, then get the ebay stuff, then when it fails get the good ones. just pay for the same part twice.

I guess i need to remind you that with ebay, what you see isnt always what you get.

Do it right or do it twice. If you're not willing to pay the extra $80 to protect your $400+ turbo from catastrophic failure, then go right ahead. The reason the ebay ones are cheap is because they are made from lower quality materials.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

Don't cheap out on oil lines. I got a feed/return eBay kit for free and it still wasn't cheap enough. After less than 6 months the feed and the drain started leaking. Not a huge amount, but I usually had to add a quart between oil changes. My buddy also went through 4 eBay feed lines on his turbo LS, melted all of them in less than 500 miles.
