steel braided lines for t25 too much?

[migsk8]

ok so to make a long story short i blew my t25 and sold it with its parts. now i must buy another one. sinse i sold the lines with it is it possible to go down to my local hardware store, find fittings for the turbo and just run steel braided lines for the oil and water?

All you need is the right size fittings...

I have some stock t28 lines. You can have them for 50.00 and you pay shipping

It is possible to create your own steel braided lines using random parts, but its not really worth the trouble. Finding an inlet oil restrictor that is the correct size will be very difficult, if you dont get it right you will either be blowing all sorts of oil smoke out the exhaust, or you will starve the bearings, destroying the turbo. Just buy some lines.

I have a new set of stainless lines complete that I can sell you. I have put together lines before, but after spending 50-75 bucks you will wish you just order them instead of nickel and dimming through little connectors and fittings. I used Earls connectors and paid between 7 and 11 bucks for about 6 or 7 fittings. the line was cheap but making it work right is what takes the time.
