Build them yourself. Earl's or Aeroquip (my fav) or Russel. It'll be perfect fitting.

If you got some cash to throw around you can have taka make you a set. They use all Earls lines and fittings but they also cost like $180 a set. I have em and they are nice but damn thats a lot of $ for some damn lines.

Take any banjo bolts for the stock lines to a good hardware store and match the threads. You might have to take the Turbo in if it doesn't have any removable fittings. I know most T3s and T4s use NPT (nation pipe thread) fittings, not sure on T28s

What exactly do you mean by this? The stock lines are bent or you screwed up some threads somewhere?

i'd bet he tried to bend the lines and snapped atleast one.
