Turbo oil feed line

I think i broke it Where it screws into turbo,Not striped it. I was moving the line around heard a clunk, it screws in but i turn on the car, oil comes out. DID i mes up the line? oils coming out not from the threads, but the line area. I took it off noticed it was bend a bit(by me i'm sure) If so is there a way i can replace this?? I'm thinking of dropping the HARDLINE useing flexSS line. Something LIKE this T3 T3/T4 T60 T70 Turbo 4AN Oil Feed Adapter Line Kit : eBay Motors (item 350313010024 end time Feb-10-10 18:32:30 PST), I already have a good drain line, I use this T3,T3/T4 Aluminum Turbo Oil Drain adapter + Gasket : eBay Motors (item 350313793477 end time Feb-12-10 18:33:28 PST) with HI TEMP hose, it holds up very think,strong. IF not can anyone tell me the size fittings on the Oil line/block so i can go from there.

On your drain adapter, what did you use for a hose from the drain adapter to the intake? I'v been needing something like this.
Thanks, Steve

Napa as it thanks for that, i was thinking of just getting a flex line tho. I just didn't want to run into this problem again, or worry about knicks.

I think hydraulic hose. Got it from autozone. I have an extra Drain adaptor(brand new, +/- gasket) Extra one from ebay vendor. I'll give it to you, if i can find it. No charge. Tho i should have gotta something with SS braid or whatever else is stronger,highest heat resistant hose. But when i swapped injectors, felt the hose, still solid, strong. used about 1ft maybe longer/shorter, easy to put in drain hole now I see that Gbodyparts.com Has more or less the same kit/idea i thought of. Wonder what kind of hose they use? GBodyParts.com Online

They still list it on their site, but it has been discontinued for awhile. It will cancel when you try to order it. Turbo saver and a longer flex line is your best bet to upgrade at the same time. Trying to copy the bends to make a new one is a little tricky, but possible.

Filter relocation kit. Allows you to relocate the filter to behind the headlight on the passenger side as well as an upgrade to a small block chevy or ford filter. Much bigger filter, better flow and filtration. Added benefit is you can feed the turbo directly from there and it will only received filtered oil.

Ahh crap i already added a oil cooler adaptor, i was thinking about doing this but got the adpator kit. So my turbo isn't getting filtered oil? hmm if not i can use a pre filter(inline filter) but not as good i bet. COuld i still get the remote oil kit? I heard i can't use a BIG oil filter if i have a Oil cooler. SOmethinga bout PSi drop or something,i forget. Would you have the Part # for the kit by any chance? I think the brass oil fitting TREE/block is -4AN, So for the turbo feed line, I just need a SS braided hose with female -4AN ends, then get a male/male adaptor fitting(goes to the brass TREE/Block. Get the turbo adaptor fitting with male -4AN. Anybody have ideas on what hose to get? brake line,engine oil, thinking aeroSS hose should hold up.
