What sort of oil feeds do people use when building a turbo engine? Standard metro turbo or can it be a universal kit? It would be for fitting a T2 turbo. Any suggestions ?

Is there any reason why I couldn't use copper brake pipe with the right ends on? Braded pipes can be quite expensive from what ive seen.

No reason you can't do that, but the last turbo oil feed I had made cost £15. I use:

Hmmm, its diffinately an option. What ends do I need? I'll need a t piece wont I to split off from the oil pressure switch? And do I need to use a banjo type bolt on the turbo side?

banjo on the turbo end (M12 x 1mm or M14x 1mm from memory). Get one of these for the block end:

Then take that and the turbo to the hose place with a length for the hose. Make sure you get a rotating coupling on the engine end. It will save a lot of hassle....
