I busted my oil feed line the other night, and I am replacing it. Long story short I have to basically take the whole turbo assembly apart. Since Im taking the whole thing apart I want to go ahead and put braided lines. The thing is who sells them already made for the ca with an sr t25?

Thanks

youll have to get them made. i asked around for ever with not much luck. the oil feed line uses -04an fittings and the coolant lines use -06an fittings. just get a line thats about 9-12inches in length for the oil. maybe a foot and a half for the coolant lines.

Taka also does a lot of business on eBay. I got my braided SS clutch line and Brake lines from them. They work great and they was a pretty decent price too!
