Hi all,

I was wondering what the ideal way to route the turbo oil feed line is? 

The line that Tao supplied is so long it makes me think there is a particular reason for the length. 

I can only really think of 2 options, but both end up with a lot of excess line. I've attached a picture to show my thoughts. The squiggly lines aren't to scale but you get the idea lol

Ok, so taking on board everything said above - I've ended up with this. 

I'm thinking where the factory water bracket was, I can get a bracket made up to support the flexible oil and water lines that will run through there.

I would of ran it like the red diagram, not next to the dump pipe.

And maybe use some heat proof sleeve over it too.

I think your right. 3rd times the charm!

Originally I was worried about it getting too close to the oil drain line, but the bit it's near is metal.

Also, would you not flip the hose around so the 90 degree is off the turbo and it's a nice gentle arch all the way to the fitting on the block?

Here's what I did before with my ex Hypergear ATR45SAT (great turbo, just got carried away with the TS route then replaced it before I tuned it).

It can touch the oil drain line, exhaust not so much!

Yep, I've flipped it around and put the heat shielding stuff on it too. I'll get a photo up a bit later.

just putting it oot there...you can also just buy an AN4 stainless end and cut to a suitable length, get rid of the excess. Tao just prob does it that way to avoid emails of ' the line supplied is too short!" so makes it plenty long.

I wish I could have come up with this myself... especially as I made up that water line =/

Could have got the proper size heat shielding too rather then putting -6 shielding on it to clear  the fittings...

Your new water return line, did you connect it to behind the head or did you cut the hard pipe and attach it there?

EDIT:  Hang on, how does the water line to your turbo work?

Hey mate, I'm pretty sure I used the factory water line for the one your describing. 

The water line I made up goes from the turbo to the block and you can see it in the above photos.

Let me know if there was something in particular you need more details on.

    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP. 
    • People are going faster on CRS than AR1, so there's that 😕
    • Go the CRS, cheaper than the A052 and same if not better 1 lap performance when suspension is dialled for it. If wanting to do back to back laps the A052 and can cool off and go again next lap will be the better option. I have gone quicker over 1 lap with CRS than the A050 I came from but may be due to getting more seat time. I am driving CRS on the street lately in different conditions and its going well, a lot better than AR1 in the wet. AR1 is a race tyre, CRS is a Hill Climb/time attack/Sprint tyre. 2 different things, a slick is on the way too. The mighty gay mods choice of tyre is proper rubbish for those that actually drive on track not park at bunnings at night.
    • Seems to be a common issue, I had a look at two used tanks and both had similar cracks to mine. No one that does plastic welding near me seems to want to do it to a fuel tank lol
