I'm wondering what length hose you guys are using? Just want to get the parts in before I do the install..

Thanks,Nate

I used the JGS 18" return line with my ETD manifold and T3/T04E turbo. Worked fine-- there wasnt a ton of extra slack but definiely enough hose to make it work.

I didnt have AC though. If you have your AC compressor in there I think you'll need a longer line.

i too used an 18" line. 18.5" or 19" would work as well, as the 18" was kinda tight.

be carefull if you order a feed line from JGS. i ordered a 36" line and wanted to run it around the back of the motor to conceal it and i needed to add a hard line from the greddy oil sandwhich i was using. just a little FYI for you to condsider.

I guess I'll go for 24" and modify it from there. Thanks for the input.
