I was working on my turbo, and ended up noticing that this line was broken. I figured I need to get it replace before I run my new turbo.

I really need to know if there is a similar part at autozone, or a way to fix it. I wanna get this done.

im sure you could just get the same diameter in brake line, put those fittings on it, and flare the lines and it'd work fine. but i'd just make sure to get the same, or as close as you can to the same diameter line as the original

What he said ^

Or it might be easier just to go braided stainless instead of bending hardline. Take that in to a hyrdaulics place and tell them to give you a similar length with the same fittings at each end.

or you could go all out and make some new braided lines for your water and oil line or buy the ones from FRSport...but i still think the brake line would probably be the easiest solution.

Ok, thanks guys!

I think im going to go get some hard lines and get them bent to fit on the same. hopefully that should work.
