So I'm replacing my turbo cause it went bad and was spewing oil into everything. I bougt a stock t25 and pulled the old one off and found out there was a t28 on there. Now heres where I'm confused. Coolants that were on there arent matching up? Are the coolant lines for a t28 different than the coolant lines on the t25? I cant figure out how to mount them up, nothing is making sense to me lol. Can someone give me guidance with this!!!??? I'm so lost.... Oh yeah. I've got a s13 blacktop.

You can bend the hardlines to line up but it is a total pain. I'd buy stainless lines and be bling blingy and have a breeze of install.

Do you know of anywhere that I could get some pictures of the hard lines mounted on or any writeups? I'd like to make what I have work before i send more money... Or possibly the best palce to purchase the braided turbo lines if it comes to that??

Certain NAPA stores will make custom braided hoses for you. Just show them what fittings you need.

Im very/pretty sure that Phase2Motortrend sells the lines for it.

DO NOT BEND YOUR STOCK HARD LINES EVER.

I barely put stress/bent one of my coolant lines........hairline crack.

Trust me that makes you even more mad....because now you have to pull it all off again after you have filled it up with coolant!
