Hi all ,

Anyone got any advice where to get a return oil feed pipe from (turbo to front of block )
Have brought one but the whole pipe turns when tightening up !? Have to keep running the pipe round to tighten ie not swivelled .

Thanks

So is it the feed or return you want ?

The feed is a steel pipe from the oil pressure switch fitting to the turbo.

The return is a 90deg silicone type at the rear under the turbo.

The OE hard steel feed was a piece of shit and often failed, partly for the reasons you describe as it wants to turn, then gets bent when fitting. Best to make up a new one from teflon or something.

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will
