This one is for you guys who have made your own T-3 return line from fittings and braided hose.What size fittings,and what angles did you use?

Too much fun, what's that mean?That's like too much boost,there's no such thing.

I have not got mine made or ordered the parts yet but I was planing on using a 45 degree npt to an adapter out of the thread oil flange I got off e-bay then a 45degree hose end using either 08 or 10 an line to a 90 degree hose end into a bulk head adapter right into the oil pan. I felt with that size of hose it would not bend to go into the stock location, so I figured I woud just use a pipe plug to close of teh stock drain hole location. hope this help. I have a question for anyone is 08 size line a good size choice or os 10 size better or overkill

Mike, the bigger the better. Remember the drain side is all gravity, no pressure and the oil can come out of the turbo in a foam state, therefore the need for a much bigger return than supply line

Pete, thanks I kind a felt that way but I figured I would ask here, for advice. This website and message board has given me such great info about getting my car back together that I would not have found without it. Hopefully I can get this thing running soon just a few more weeks that is what I said when april got here.

Damn, I spent too much money, dude the first one is way to small in my opinion. the second one looks good. I think it would work, ignore me while I go cry cause I spent $100.00 at jegs yesterday online to piece everything together with an lines and fittings, I know I will be happy with it when I am done but damn they have it for sale for a third of what I spent

I had scott with SR racing make me up a supply line it is really a sweet set up goes into the pluged oil port on the back of the head, I do not know though if he plans to make and sell them but it is a nice piece of work
