The company I bought my turbo from has a steel braided oil line kit for $100 and is throwing in the water lines for free. Is that a good price or can I find a better price???

My oil feed and a water line are both steel braided... they cost ~$90 for both with AN fittings. As long as they are made right... I'd say that's one good deal!

Want to hook some other people up with the deal?

You'll need the right fittings to go into your block for the send. Make sure they know that. It'll cost the same to go and buy everything separately. You'll also need oil drain flange and possibly feed flange for the turbo.

i have extra fittings if anyone need them. the one i have here are male fittings, bolt to the block and AN-4 braided lines fittings.

i bypass the water lines to the turbo, but you need to be sure to let your turbo to cool down with a timer or something :)

Wouldn't it be better to have water cooling also?

Most aftermarket turbos are oil cooled only. Just bypass it and save yourself some trouble.

Use a turbo timer. You can get a Greddy auto timer for like $70 shipped on ebay. Good idea even with water cooling.
