My guess would be like the first pic, but make the line a bit shorter so it fits better.

100% go with the first one, but shorten the line by about a foot

of the 2 i'd go w/ the first...but i think it would be better if you ran a 90 deg fitting from flamenco-t so it's not touching you manifold

To me, the second pic is a better way to route the oil feed.

That's probably the best way and cheap too.

neither are acceptable. way too close to the manifold. A 90* facing foreward as far to the passenger side as possible, without the line touching the comp cover, is the only way short of running hardline down the back of the center section.

Agreed. Both methods leave it way too close to the manifold, with one even touching it. That would cook the oil feed to the turbo, especially with the elevated EGTs during boost. I recommend a 90 degree fitting and running the line out from underneath the manifold.

Seperate the CHRA(center housing rotating assembly) from the turbine housing (6 13mm bolts) and then put in the 90deg. fitting in there.

If you took the bolts out of the turbine housing it will come right out.

i had the same problem with my HKS manifold and Garret T-25 turbo.

i traded stan a strait oil line for a 90 degree and it solved the problem.

i then bought some shielding from summit racing and coverd the feed line for added protection.

check my sig for updated pictures.
