Turbo Oil Return Hose, What did you use??????????
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi all,

Ive had my turbo rebuilt by Turbo Technics and decided to change the grubby old oil return hose.

Where did you get your replacement Turbo oil drain hose from? and what are the size and measurements? Is it a different type of silicon hose for water and air compared to oil. Or can you use one for all?

I have red SFS performance boost hoses so I will buy one of them if I can. I know AVONBAR sells them but I want to cut out the middle man and save some £££.

Cheers Chris

This should cover it...

I used lots of bits from the plumbers and a hunk of SAAB oil return hose...

Whatever works.

The word is that sillicone can't take the hot oil, I suspect because it cant last 100,000 miles but....dunno how valid that is on our oft rebuilt/removed engines though!!

Anyone out there actually got a 100.000 mile turbo motor??
