Hey,
Can I use rubber lines for oil feed and return to my turbo? If not, what else should I use? Can I use something like this guy did?
Thanks,
Chris

Id use stainless steel hose crimped onto the hard line.

Well, I used some nylon braided rubber hose and double clamped the ****. We will see if it holds. Ill keep ya posted on how it works.

dr0x is on the money with this one, I used rubber first with mine, stupid idea. Now have stainless steel braid which you should use for things like this because of the extreme heat is has to put up with.

Wow, if there was ever a place to not "jury-rig" something, I would think this would be it. If the feed line goes, your turbo is right behind it.

To be perfectly honest, I used standard fuel injection hse and have not had any problems even at 90 PSI oil pressure. However, I do NOT recommend this. On my list of things to do before I put the car back on the road is to replace all that with hard line and braided stainless. The proper hard line and hoses are available from any hydraulic hose shop. They can even make the fittings for a plug and play application.

nylon braided fuel hose with that chinese fingertrap **** over it to try and help with the heat......even on a oil only cooled to4b it works like butter
for over a year!

I have been using 100psi fuel injection line for over a year now. Integrity of the hose is perfectly fine, but I've had some issues with wet hose clamps.
