Urgent Help needed! Turbo Oil Line missing!
Hello,
I am putting in the S5 Stock turbo in to my car for smog and I notice that I am missing a part.
where the turbo Oil line meets the car's (directly behind the sway bars near the OMP)
I am missing the triangluar to oval flange/line (don't know if i am making sense as this part is really rare...)
Do anyone have the picture of the part i am talking about? and have opinions on what i should do? (fab a pipe? cut the stock flange off and use a rubber hose?)
if anyone have that spare part lying around, it would be great,
cuz i need it before September for my smog
Thanks

Should I cut it like the pictures below (with the red circles)?
would that be too hot if i run a rubber hose to it?
the oil return/drain line (thanks for the info iceblue)

Oil return line. You just need a pipe on ones I fab for S5 turbos on S4 cars I cut the flange and weld the pipe in the angles I want then use silicone hose to join them together.

so just normla heater hose or threaded fuel line?
also should i bend the metal pipe or should I just cut it and run a rubber hose intead? any drawbacks to either? (metal pipe more heat resistant etc etc?)
cuz i notice the oil reutrn line from my Greddy TD is also just a rubber hose...

Heater hose is going to fail within a month.
Don't ask me how I know this. :P
I would get in touch with a local hydraulic hose shop and ask them for their advice.
These kinds of businesses have hose designed for this kinda application.

That'd be it.
Only thing I did as a precaution was to wrap a little bit of exhaust wrap around the portion of the hose that's close to the exhaust manifold.
Holding up great for me, and I prefer it to stainless there since it won't rub the lower rad hose.....edit: on a large single that is
