ok, so I have been working on an S14 T28 install for a while now, and this oil return line is giving me huge problems. When the turbo and manifold are on the block, the line won't reach, and doesnt line up properly to the turbo. So we decided to take the manifold off and do the line first THEN put the manifold back on. Turns out the metal line very stubburn and wont reach to the T28. Im lost at what to do here. Is there a way to re do the oil return line to make it more flexible so its easy to work with. Im so fed up with this "bolt on" turbo install I think im just going to take it to a shop for this line. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yes, I would like to see some kind of reply. What would need to be done to get a oil return line to fit on a S15 T28. What could be done to get a oil line for a GT28.

All i did when i installed my T28 on my old CA was cut down the metal pipe to a shorter length and then made up a longer peice of rubber hose to connect to the pan.

Check ATPturbo.com under the turbo accesories they have a ton of "proper" fitttings that you can use.

Yo word up, Because the stock Pipe does not line up on the turbo. Is there a different pipe to use.........Without using an after market hose that you have to redrill on your oil pan. Im looking for something that can bolt up to the GT28.
