I just wanted replace the hose that was on my oil return line from the turbo cuz it used to touch the water line but when I took the engine apart I took a torch and bent the line. I've gone to kragen and pepboys and all they have are those heater hoses I want something for moving oil O_0

it's just a heater hose. I found a 6' roll of theb exact same stuff that came with my kit for $5 at AutoZone. Works as well as it ever did.

I went to CarQuest, that place kicks ass! they had the 90 digree angle fitting and compressed it onto the hose for me. cost about $11! way better than the one that came with the kit...

I got pissed and wanted ALL oil to stop leaking. Aeroquip hose(fits -10AN) and cut the hard section off the oil pan flange. Removed the oil pan and welded a steel AN fitting to the flange, got an Aero. 90 degree fitting to clear the DP and ran it up to a 45 degree fitting on the bottom of the turbo. No leaks.

cool mine's not leaking but the tube was so close to the lower radiator hose it was touching it (probably my fault when i installed it first), which I thought was bad, I couldn't really fix it until I took the engine out of the car though, I just took a torch and bent the pipe a bit and now it clears haha I hope I didn't burn up the gasket when I bent it though
I got the hose, yep the regular heater hose worx just fine
