Hey guys, I am in the market for some stainless oil and water lines and stumbled accross this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...36175

Right now I'm using a pretty old and used stock turbo, and I'm using the stock manifold with 3" turbo back exhuast. I'm not sure if I would even use the turbo or not or just sell it, but what do you think? I need new gaskets anyways, and new lines are a must. The manifold is something I could put to use, and the turbo, well, thats just a bonus. Looks to be about the same size as stock if I'm reading it right, so I might keep it or might not. Who knows.

Opinions? If this kit is no good can someone please find me a set of 4 (2 oil 2 coolant) braided stainless lines please !! Much appreciated.

you can get steel braided water lines and oil feed line for about $160 or so from takamotorsport.com just e-mail mrs. taka (takamotorsports at yahoo.com) and tell her you want lines for a ca18det. (oil feed is different from the sr20 kit). They are the correct length of work well.

Decided just to buy the taka lines from Bing. $200 shipped. Good call on that set. The turbo looked like complete garbage lol
