one of my fittings i have for my feed line are 90 degrees i have seen people use these before with no problems yet i hear a lot of people say that u have to use 45 degrees or less because 90 degree fittings block oil flow. this is the oly fitting i have and i am putting my turbo on this weekend and i have no time to get a 45 degree fitting, will this be ok?

 

The 90 degree fitting will work fine for the feed line. It's the oil return line that would be better with a 45 degree fitting.

yea thats what i thought. i figured that since the feed line is pressurized then a 90 degree fitting will be fine and since oil return is more or less gravity feed than thats why 45 degree or straight will be better for better flow.

yes, it will be fine, again, the feed line (depending on your source) have constant flow and pressure to the turbo. I used 90 degrees on all my kit all the time and never have any problems, same goes on my street car for years.
