Hey guys....im pretty new to sr's, but i do a lot of my own fab work. Im currently making a top moutned manifold for my new gt2540r and am wondering what you all do for oil lines as far as the feed and return go. Im guessing stock dont work? My turbo has a water jacket on it, but I dont think I will use it....do you guys usually just cap off the turbo coolant lines or make new ones for the water jacket? Let me know whats out there! Thanks!

Why would you cap the coolant ports if your motor has hookups from the factory for a water cooled turbo and your have a water cooled turbo.

Anyway, Taka Motorsports which makes Phase2 and Enjuku lines (I am pretty sure at least) can make them to custom lenths. He told me that they were about $10 more than the standard bottom mount lines due to being longer. Should be about $170+sh if I remember his email.
